Description
From the Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection (PH-00221) -- Series I. Amargosa Valley, Nevada -- Subseries I.A. Fishel Family (T&T Ranch). The gentlemen in white shirts and dark ties may be executives of the T & T Railroad. The inscription on the back of the original photo reads: "Alex Stachau C. R/ 66462,848 Doheny Street." This probably refers to Doheny Street in Los Angeles, perhaps somebody from the corporate headquarters of the Pacific Coast borax company in Los Angeles.
