Description

Photograph of Copper Mining at Calaveras, ca.1930. A skeletal, triangular device stands tall to the left with a wheel at the top. The device appears to stand at the top of a crater in the foreground. What appears to be a lightly-colored house stands on the left surrounded by trees. The background is the rest of the town which consists of a road lined by electrical poles and homes that sit on the side of a mountain and are surrounded by trees. The trees of the mountain can be seen in the distance. "This Calaveras section was the principal source of copper in the United States during the Civil War. The famous Union Copper Mines were discovered in 1860".
