c1903 Pair of cards representing copper mining at Mt. Shannon, in the Metcalf mine and the Wilson mine. Both cards were published by "Underwood & Underwood." The first shows men loading surface ore into carts at the Metcalf. The reverse side is blank. The second, at the Wison mine, shows a man loading a laden ore cart while 2 others behind him use hammers to drill into the rock for setting dynamite. The reverse of this card offers an explaination of the location and the operations photographed. It continues about US mining and what it supplies to the rest of the world. There are even 5 captions in foreign languages. Both cards are in excellent condition, with great contrast and clarity. Bud Bassett Collection - HKA#65538
