Gold King Mine

Description

Since I have entered several photos of the Gold King Mine and Ghost Town, I thought you might enjoy seeing the gentleman who now owns the site and takes care of it all. In 1890 this was Haynes, Arizona, which was a suburb of Jerome and support for the mine workers. A 1200 ft. deep shaft was dug looking for copper, but they hit gold instead!

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/125 seconds, Flash: did not fire, auto mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 30.00 mm, Model: DSLR-A100
