Description

Horses draw a cart outside of a stone building. A man appears to be dancing on top of the building. Written on the back of the photograph is, "Taken near present day Tonopah. The first man behind the horses is my great-grandfather John Peter Wright (1870-1903). My grandfather was in the process of dying from silicosis having worked in the Delamar mines. He was a freighter-because he could not do hard labor. W. I. Booth photographer. Wells Nevada."
