Description
Horse drawn stage leaving Tonopah for Manhattan, circa 1905. There was an inscription on the image. "The coaches were the primary mode of passenger transportation between central Nevada's early mining camps. They were eventually replaced by railroads which built into Rhyolite, Goldfield, Tonopah, and Blair, but served the area's smaller satellite camps until the mid-1910's when the automobile took their place. The photo was reproduced from an original 1905 colored postcard."

Description
There was an inscription on the image. "Typical of most central Nevada mining camp meat markets, the floor was covered with sawdust and the only preserved meat available was salt pork, bacon and the hams hanging above the counter. Everything else was cut fresh from quarters. There was no refrigeration. The shops sold beef, horse meat, pork, mountain sheep and, if nothing else was available, burro meat. The cans on the shelves on the right contained lard."
