After the WPPI show, I headed into the Mojave Desert hills. I was looking for the Evening Star mine and a place to stay for the night.
Got here just as the sun was setting.
A notice to the employees of the Witherbees, Sherman & Co. announcing that as the "prospects of the Iron buisness get worse and worse" they will either have to "close mines or reduce wages." This poster informed the workers how much their wages would be cut. In 1938, when Republic Steel purchased the Witherbee Sherman mines they raised the wages, making the mining salary one of the best in town.

Jerome, Arizona
Jerome is perched on the side of Cleopatra Hill deposits. In 1876, mining claims and a mill were located near the over rich ore town. These claims were purchased in 1882 by the United Verde Company, and the tent camp was named Jerome after Eugene Jerome, a major financier of the company. Senator William Clark of Montana purchased the company in 1883. By the mid 1920s the population had grown to almost 15,000 before it began to decline.
Walking down Main Street is like taking a step back in time. Remnants of the "Red Light District," Company Hill, old hotels, and saloons still exist. Today the population is close to 500. When the mines shut down in the 1950s, the population was below 100. It was then the town became known as a ghost town. However, today it is a thriving destination tourist town and a national historic landmark.
Photographed at the Battery Hill Mine Museum. Tennant Creek has a rich history as a gold mining centre. Here was found one of the richest gold bearing seams ever mined in the world. Very remotely located in central Australian desert country, life was harsh for the people who lived here.
