Murders in the Tomboy Mine

Wow Photo Wednesday ~ Deco Trefoil

A man smokes a pipe as he sits next to a contraption of some kind, possibly a smelter or liquor still, in (probably) the Bohannon Placer District in Lemhi County, Idaho. Hoses come from a wooden barrel and center on what is perhaps a forge or crucible. Bottles, buckets, scrap lumber and a wheelbarrow lay around the device, with board and batten buildings in the background.

A woman (Muriel Wolle?) is sitting at the entryway of the City Hall and Fire Department building in Nevadaville, Colorado. The name of the building is painted on the facade, and surrounds two broken and boarded up window bays. The woman is holding a sketchpad in her hands.
