Photograph of a copper mining town, Bisbee, Arizona, ca.1900.
Three smokestacks of a large processing shed are visible at right.
Several smaller buildings are perched along a ledge of the steep slope of a mountainside at left. Smoke belches from stacks behind the large shed. Switchbacks are cut into the slope. At top, a long row of rail cars carry ore.
