A "view of the Bully Hill copper mines from the north" printed on the lower border. Measures 9 1/4 x 5 3/4" with white border measuring 10 x 8" overall. The contrast is high and the focus is good. There are several small dots on the image, otherwise very fine. No photographer is listed. The photograph shows the mine along with several nearby buildings.

(Ref: Brown, p. 774) The nearby town of Delamar was named by M.E. Dittmar in 1900 after J.H. Delamar, owner of the Bully Hill mines. (Ref: CA Place Names, Gudde)
