This is a great shot of the silver mining town of Quijota! Promoted to be the next Comstock by Mackay & Far, Quijotoa failed to live up to its promise as the next great silver mining town of the West. Very little remains of this town that once was home to over 20 saloons and a few thousand people. The photographer is identified as C.H. Graves of Philadelphia and was sold by the Universal Photo Art Co. The focus is sharp and the contrast has medium. There is some surface wear on the images, and wear on the matte.
