Autos line the quiet Streets of Ely. Photograph measures 6 ¾”x4 ¾”, mounted on construction paper, high to medium contrast—tends toward the grey, and focus is sharp. This photo has some staining. Store signs can be read clearly and the image provides a nice look into an early Ely. Photographer not identified. The photo is looking east down Aultman Street toward the Schell Creek Range. Ely has been a point of activity since the mid nineteenth century, but it was not until 1900 that Ely began to boom. Ely lead Nevada into the new era of mining with the increased demand for copper in the early twentieth century. The town of Ely was located between the mines at Ruth and the smelter at McGill. This privileged location established Ely as a supply and service town for the growing industries of Steptoe Valley and the Robinson Mining District. No. 202
