This is an important mine with a RARE fabulous photograph!!! The Great Western Quicksilver Mine was a mercury mine[2] in California, near Middletown in Lake County. The mining company was incorporated in 1872 and the mine produced from 1873 until 1909, when it was exhausted. In 1880, Andrew Rocca was the superintendent of the Great Western Mine. His daughter, Helen Rocca Goss, wrote that the Great Western Quicksilver Mine employed 25 white miners and about 200 Chinese [wikipedia] Photograph is 3.75 x 4.75. Mount is 7 x 9". Photo is clear with sharp contrast! Same photographer did the Great Western Quicksilver Mining Camp in Lake County in this sale.
