Mahoney mine, then & now
Top photo is courtesy Nevada Historical Society; bottom photo is by me, 14 July 2011. The date on the original is given as "ca. 1920" but judging from production records (Nevada Bureau of Mines & Geology Bull. 70, 1969) it's probably more like 1910. It's not much earlier than that, though; note the power pole (outlined). By and large mines weren't electrified till after 1900. In fact, the power pole looks very similar to the one I photographed about a mile east:

and maybe this was one of the destinations on that line.
I didn't get the angle exactly right, but it's close enough to give the flavor. The water on the old dump (the flat area in the middle) is flowing out of the old adit. Like many such sites, it's now a spring.
This was a minor gold producer.
