Tonopah,NV - Nye County - c1907 - Baseball Team Poses Photograph :
Elks Club baseball team poses in Tonopah Studios. Image measures 8” x 6 ¼”, black single matte with black border 10 ¾” x 9”, and focus is sharp. B.P.O.E. reads clearly on the uniforms and team members are recognizable. There are two small punctures on the bottom middle of the photo (tough to see). Photographer identified as E. W. Smith of Tonopah. Between the time silver was first discovered in 1900 and 1907, Tonopah developed into a modern city. A modern city needs a baseball team, and Tonopah was no exception. The Elks Club lodge in Tonopah was built in 1907. Prior to 1907 Elks from Tonopah and Goldfield traveled to Reno for club meetings and events.
