Antique photograph of 4 men and a woman in an underground mine. One the front of the board the image is mounted to is handwritten written " Mt Galena Mines" and "For Katie" and "Lily" 7.5 x 9.5-inch photo mounted on 10 x 12-inch board. Photo is in floating glass with black frame, overall frame size is 17.5 x 15.5 inches. This is an important underground mine photo for several reasons. First, it shows 3 miners inside an open stope using small tree logs as stope support for miners. This method was also used in Colorado mines where cut lumber was not available. It is also notable because the man and woman in the photo are finely dressed and are clearly mine owners, in my opinion (FH). This mine is possibly in the Missouri lead zinc district.
