Scope and content

Placer mining in Summit County, Colorado. Men use pickaxes and a sluice box to prospect for gold in a placer deposit or gulch. Water from the pond above is diverted into a long, sloping wooden trough with grooves on the bottom to separate gold from the extracted rocks, gravel and sand. Title quoted from handwritten caption on card mount: "Gulch mining".
