Description

Photograph of a view of a mining site in Yellow Astor, Randsburg, [s.d.]. A set of tracks leads from the foreground through the opening of the mine to the sunlight where a wooden tower stands at center. A board with several postings can be seen inside the mine in the foreground on the right while what appears to be a damaged mining cart sits just outside in front of the tower. A small, open shed can be seen just behind the tower where the tracks curve out of view to the left. The mountain side extends up to the right and another opening can be seen on the bottom.
