Goldfield,NV - Esmeralda County - 1904 - January Mine and Loading Ore Photograph :
Nice shot of a 20 mule train parked at the January Mine. Photograph measures 7”x5”, no matte, high to medium contrast—minor yellowing, and focus is sharp. Photographer not identified, but the photo is consistent with the work of A. Allen of Goldfield. In this photo is a 20 mule team, the largest used to haul ore. Behind the mule team are the tailings from the January Mine and the hoisting works. The January mining site was discovered by Charlie Taylor. The mine was opened in the Spring of 1904 and though it was not the first operation in Goldfield, it was part of the first incorporated mining company. Printed with the image is JANUARY MINE, No. 10.
