Description

Photograph of hydraulic mining in the Lytle Creek Canyon, ca.1875. Several men can be seen at the bottom of the rock wall where piles of rocks sit next to what appears to be a mining track. In the top left corner a stream of water emerges out of the mountain reaches a pile of rocks at the bottom. Just below the endpoint of the first stream a second stream appears to emerge near a shed and splashes against a small hill towards the center. Pieces of wood are scattered around the site with patches of bushes and trees in the foreground on the left.
