Interior view of a mine (named Bagdad Mine?) belonging to the Rochester Gold Mining Co., Ludlow, California, ca.1900

Photograph of the interior view of a mine (named Bagdad Mine?) belonging to the Rochester Gold Mining Co., Ludlow (in the Mojave Desert, on the 125 feet level), California, ca.1900. Four miners pause from their digging in the rock-strewn cave. Eight large logs placed at various locations to support the ceiling of the cave in order to prevent collapsing of the cave. A man stands next to a cart that runs on rails. The tracks of the rails are littered with rocks. A ladder and a few pieces of wood are lying on the floor to the left.

该影像为一张摄于约1900年的矿场内部照片，矿场隶属于罗切斯特金矿公司（Rochester Gold Mining Co.），位于加利福尼亚州（California）莫哈韦沙漠（Mojave Desert）的勒德洛（Ludlow）矿区125英尺水平巷道处，该矿场或为巴格达德矿（Bagdad Mine）。四名矿工正在布满碎石的洞窟中采掘，此刻暂作停歇。洞窟顶部共设置八根大型原木，分布于各处以支撑顶板，防止洞窟坍塌。一名男子站在轨道矿车旁，轨道路面散落着碎石。左侧地面上放置着一架梯子与若干木料。
