1903-09 - These are two early photographs of Manhattan, NV. Pictures are mounted on poster board and measure 11” x 13”. They are in very nice condition and dated 1903 and 1909 respectively. Manhattan is one of those high altitude mining towns at 7,000 feet at the slope of Bald Mountain. Like a few other early mining camps, Manhattan had two beginnings. The first started in `60s and lasted until about 1890. A few people stayed on but mining activity had all but disappeared. Its second beginning started in 1900 with the discovery of "Jewelry Ore" which lasted until about 1905 when the town again went to sleep. Its population at that time was about 500 people. There still may be a few who call Manhattan home, but most have long since departed. The town is located north of Tonopah on highway 376.
