These three photographs tell the story of the Alaskan Gold Rush. 1) Miner packing a knife and six shooter. Taken at the Gem Studio in Tacoma Washington. Ready to find his fortune. 4 x 5.5". 2) A very sharp photo of the reality of the gold fields. Not all so rosy. Eight miners panning on a small creek. One woman looks on. Two miners resting by a tent in the distance. The mining operations are crystal clear!!! 10 x 4". 3) Finally another small mining camp. This one shows what winter is like. Snow makes the mining far more difficult and miserable. No one looks happy. Contrast is not sharp. 8.5 x 6". Also one unissued Nome Exploration Company c 1909. Number 333.
