Description
Photograph of a desert view with mining equipment, ca.1907. Shrub-filled hills are visible sloping upwards to the left and right, creating a valley in-between. On the side of the left hill a one-room building is visible next to mining equipment. Below the building and between the two hills another structure is visible, possibly connected to the first via a track that runs up the left hill.
