Visual Materials
An album with 99 snapshots consisting mainly of views of the desert mining town of Nippeno (now known as Nipton), California, and the Nippeno Mine in Lincoln County, Nevada (now in Clark County), as well as views of Crescent, Nevada; Manvel (?), California; and Vanderbilt, California. Views of Nippeno include workers and informal camp life scenes, various mine camp buildings including a cabin identified as the first building on the site and as having been erected by G. D. Halfpenny of the Nippeno Mining Company, water tunnels, mine shafts, freight train arrivals, horses, mules, and a baby mule. There are several photographs of "Expert Hunter" inspecting shafts and tunnels at the Nippeno Mine. Views of Vanderbilt include a photograph of William A. McFarlane and of his general store and restaurant. Views of Crescent include a photograph labeled "Win Sherman - "By Gad" - one of the pioneers" (likely of Winslow Sherman, an early settler and miner). There is one image of an automobile.
