Reed Family (Kawich Mountains, Nevada). Gold Reed, Kawich Mountains, Nye County, Nevada, probably about 1905. It was with a mine in Gold Reed that O.K. Reed made the money to purchase the ranch at Hawes Canyon. The ore at the mine was so rich that a person could stand off 50 or 60 feet and see the gold in the original outcropping; some of the ore sold for $1,000 a ton. Reed was partners in the mine with Jack May and a Mr.Wardle, Tonopah resident Austin Wardle’s father. Jack May and Reed were married to sisters, Mabel and Maude Hanley. 

From the Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection (PH-00221) -- Series VI. Tonopah, Nevada -- Subseries VI.D. Terrell Family. A picture postcard with the caption, "A native son of Tonopah, Nevada." Described by Solan Terrell as the most "cantankerous animal that was ever born," also one of the most intelligent. During the 1920s and 1930s burros ran loose in the streets of Tonopah, raiding garbage cans and providing an endless source of entertainment to the children. While in the Navy during World War II, Solan Terrell won $5 when he bet a fellow that Nevada had mountain canaries weighing 400 or 500 pounds. When Terrell produced a picture of the burro with the caption, "A native Nevada mountain canary," the sucker had no choice but to pay up.

From the Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection (PH-00221) -- Series VI. Tonopah, Nevada -- Subseries VI.D. Terrell Family. A pontoon from the dredge constructed at Manhattan, Nevada, prior to World War II. A large hole was dug to impound water. Water was then piped to Manhattan from across the valley at Peavine and fed into the hole. The superstructure was constructed atop the pontoon, and the dredge, with buskets in front, scooped the gravel out as it moved from the lower end of the gulch to the upper end, about 1-1/2 miles. The gravel that was scooped out was processed for gold on the dredge and fed out back of the dredge when processing was completed.
