A black and white image of Las Vegas Rotary Club members at a Christmas party in Las Vegas. The group is in front of the Apache Hotel. Club President A.C. Grant is seated beside a waving Santa Claus in an automobile bearing a sign that reads: "Rotary Xmas Party." Secretary Bryan L. Bunker is standing second from the right in the first row. This photo was taken from a time capsule in the cornerstone of the Union Pacific Railroad station located in Las Vegas. The time capsule was placed there in 1940 and was later retrieved when the building was demolished around 1970.
Mine ruins near Bonnie Claire, Nevada. The building's skeleton stands erect despite most of the walls and windows being gone. A large dirt mound of debris and rocks stretches behind the structure.
