The train depot of the Las Vegas and Tonopah Railroad in Rhyolite, Nevada, 1920s

The train depot of the Las Vegas and Tonopah Railroad in Rhyolite, Nevada, 1920s. Rhyolite, Nevada was founded in 1904 after Shorty Harris and Ed Cross discovered Rhyolite Quartz at the Bullfrog mine. By 1906 the town had two railroad lines and a population of 10,000. The mines, however, did not produce as expected and by the early 1910s Rhyolite was abandoned. One silver gelatin POP print purchased from Amalgre Books of Bloomington, Indiana in April of 1997.
