Thanks for the scans Matt, I really like the small towns in Nevada. I had a partner who was a mercury miner in the region in the late 50's/early 60's. There were quit a few guys digging all over around there and on the weekends they's come out of the ground for some fun, swelling the population of towns like Mina, Hawthorne, and Tonapah. At one time, Goldfield had a tent city with tens of thousands of souls propecting and working the prospectors!
