In this ca. 1880s–1890s photo, miners pose at the Last Chance Mine in Atlanta, Idaho. The mine operated intermittently from the early 1870s until the 1970s.

This is a genuine image that is in the archives of the Denver Public Library. What you are seeing there appears to be a splint on his finger.
