This collection contains 92 glass-plate negatives and corresponding copy prints depicting the mining towns of Tonopah, Goldfield, and Manhattan, Nevada, in the early 20th century. The photographs show: miners, mines and mining operations, street scenes, buildings (including some interiors), parades, and drilling contests. Many of the photographs have the imprint of photographer E.W. Smith of Tonopah. Item titles chiefly transcribed from handwritten captions on images; cataloger-supplied titles are in square brackets.

Visual Materials
An album of 160 photographs of mining life and towns in Nevada and California from 1904-1912, with many images of mining camps in and around Goldfield and Tonopah, Nevada. The album compiler was mining engineer Henry Curtis Morris, who presumably took many of the photographs and wrote the descriptions. Other images are by commercial photographer P. E. Larson of Goldfield. Most of the album images are of Nevada, including mining towns Ione, Hornsilver, Monarch, Belmont, Austin, Rawhide, and Fairview, with some images of the Reno Reduction Works mill. Other subjects are: mining operations; mine interiors with miners carrying picks and candles; prospectors panning for gold; miners' pack teams; prospectors' tents; covered wagons; and log cabins. Several views show Paiute Indians around Reese River, Nevada. There are a small number of images in California, primarily mining camps in Death Valley.
