Four large original photos, 7.25 x 9.5" of key scenes in Goldfield.The photographers name was on a label on the back of each, now removed. Each photo has original pencil notations on the back, which are important. 1. "Hayes and Monnett (Lease) Sacking High Grade Gold Ore, One Million Dollars deposited in the J. S. Cook Co's bank - Goldfield, Nevada." the same wording was placed on the obverse of the photo. also:" Green tent Ceiling" "Not Made". 2) "Hauling ore from Combination Mine Goldfield, Nev. "NGT made" 3) Mohawk Mine Goldfield, Nev. " "NGT made" (six headframes visible) 4)Bottle House in the Goldfiuelds Snow Banks, Goldfield, nev" on the obveerse, and the reverse has the same , plus "light green bottles and brown alternating first row green, second row brown and so on" "NGT Made". Four original first generation photographs by the photographer, who copied them for resale later, complete with his notes on the back. These 4 are among what would ultimately become some of the most famous photos of Goldfield from the c1906 period. The images are clear and sharp, and one can even see clearly the black paint on the ore bags: "H & M / Mohawk". Later copies do not have this degree of deatil, and do not have the color designations of the rows of bottles in the now-famous bottle house, which is half gone today, but protected by a fence. Photos possibly by Larson.
