Framed Newspaper drawing of the famous Bodie Mining area. Measures 25" x 17", matted with image space approx. 17.5" x 13". Sketch was drawn for the "San Francisco Daily Stock Report," by H.F Sanford. Looking east, three or four of the ore-bearing bluffs and hills are accurately indicated, stated in the under caption as being "topographically and very distinctly defined." There are also various buildings, roads, the Livery, kilns, the tramway, elevations, mines, tunnels, and the Cemetery, among others. The caption at bottom, worded in the language of the time, offers an entertaining and astute description of the mines, and the town and its operations. Highly detailed. Excellent condition. Rare.
