Copy of customer print. Another in a series taken in what appears to be a small town perhaps around the last part of the 1800s. Located in a valley surrounded by rolling hillsides, this village had a large operating plant previously shown in C157511, image 2, and again in this photograph beyond the row of buildings. The buildings are nestled close together with the only sign readily legible is for the "Nugget" on the extreme left corner. The "Nugget" was the town's newspaper, in business from 1891 to 1900. There are three steeples or cupolas visible on buildings in the town. Several horses are hitched to posts awaiting their masters' return. A reader has identified this town as De Lamar, Idaho. It was founded in 1888 by sailing captain Joseph De Lamar. Once a prime producer of silver, this former mining community is now a ghost town. Photograph ordered by Noel H. Wynne, 5431 A St., on 12-9-69. (Identification provided by a reader)
