An artist's color rendering of a man riding a wagon cart pulled by two burros. Written on back of postcard: "The burro is a hardy, homely, pathetic, yet ludicrous little chap, an interesting bit in the colorful drama of the west. The burro and pack train are inseparably linked with the West's early history, especially with the prospector and mining." The postcard is titled "Blazing the Trail to Hoover Dam, Near Las Vegas, Nevada."

Color image of "An Old Prospector on the desert, Southern Nevada," as written on the front of the postcard. Printed on the back of the postcard: "The old prospector and his burros are inseparably linked with the West's early history. These little fellows carry him over precipitous trails, where other transportation fails; he thrives and multiplies where other 'critters' starve, and whoever hears his musical bray echoing in the morning, appreciates the aptness of his sobriquet. 'Desert Nightingale.'"
