The view of a mining tower between Mountain Ladd and Montgomery Mountain in Rhyolite, Nevada. Handwritten description provided on back of image: "between Mt. Ladd and Montgomery Mt. out in the middle of the alluvium. Tower documents attempt to reach bedrock. They went down 350 feet and didn't get to bedrock. See USGS Bulletin 407. - Ed Whipple, 12/19/78."
Miners sit along the side of a mountain near a mine site in Nevada. Conflicting descriptions believe this to be Meyers Mine near Hoover Dam or the foothills of the Sheep Mountains next to a salt mine.
