Henry Curtis Morris photograph album of Nevada and California mining
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.
