Identifier	ov135
Title	Chrysopolis, California. Mine
Creator	Unknown;
Date Created	circa 1910s
Description	Entrance to mine, with three miners standing at entrance to mine shaft. From left to right they are Johnny Williams, Johnny Utter, and Sandy Lochrie. Miners hold mining equipment--shovel, wheelbarrow, pick. Awning over worksite. boxes in foreground. "Chrysopolis" is written on the back of the photograph, and an accompanying grocer's ticket records the name of the miners. Title supplied by cataloger.
Historical Background	Voter registration lists from Inyo County in the 1920s record a John Utter living in Big Pine, California, whose occupations included mining in 1922 and ranching by 1926. The ghost town of Chrysopolis, California, is located in the Inyo Range of the Owens Valley. The original settlement began in the early 1860s but soon withered away, and the name was applied to a mining area, which received renewed development in the early 1900s because of the expansion of mining in Death Valley, Tonopah, and Goldfield. This photograph probably records mining at Chrysopolis in the 1910s, the latter stage of the intensified mining that had begun in the early 1900s. John Black, father of J. D. Black, and A. S. Lochrie had mining interests there, and this may be their mine. Voter registration lists from Big Pine in 1922 record John Black's occupation as miner.
