DescriptionPanoramic view shows a mining camp in a desert valley. Desert plants, including ocotilla snf saguaro cacti, dot the landscape. Dirt roads lead across the desert and into the barren hills in the background, where the main mine is located. Many small buildings, some with tin roofs, are scattered along the roads. A structure in the background has a tall smokestack. There appears to be an elevated trough or conveyor for transporting ore from the mine to this building.
