A burro-drawn wagon hauling lumber and supplies into Goldfield, Nevada, ca.1904
Photograph of a burro-drawn wagon hauling lumber and supplies into Goldfield, Nevada, ca.1904. A pack of 20 burros, adjoined with harnesses, pull two wagons fully loaded with lumber and other supplies. Its drivers, two men on horses, follow closely by its side to gear the burros. Other burro carts or wagons are heading in the same direction. At left is a single story building displaying signs that read: "Goldfield Nevada Exploration Co." and "the Orlanda rooms". At left are other houses, buildings or stores that line the street. Numerous tents are visible in the distance near the base of the mountain (or hill?) just beyond the buildings on the right.; "In 1902 gold was discovered in the hills near Tonopah, Nevada. Soon a few tents dotted the barren hills among the Joshua trees, and the boomtown of Goldfield was born. In 1903 only 36 people lived in the new town. By 1908 Goldfield was Nevada's largest city, with over 25,000 inhabitants. Along with the influx of miners and businessmen, came the labor unions. The Western Federation of Miners, the Industrial Workers of the World and the American Federation of Labor all vied for power in the region. During the early years, the unions were able to control wages and working hours. But in November, 1906, the Goldfield Consolidated Mines Company was incorporated by owners George Wingfield and United States Senator George Nixon, signaling the beginning of monopoly control in Goldfield, and the start of an adversarial relationship between mine owners and the unions." -- unknown author.
