Description

One print of two photos of the Saline Valley Salt Co. The top photo has a lot of rocky ground in the foreground with one building in the distance, two towers, and some powerline poles. A duplicate copy identifies this as the Swansea end of Saline Valley Tramway. The top photo has a label in the lower left that says, "No. 686, Bledsoe Photo Co., L.A. Cal." The bottom photo was taken out in the Saline Valley looking towards a mountain range. There is a large building in the center, and appears to be evaporation pools around the photographer's location. A duplicate copy identifies this as the Saline Valley end of the Saline Valley Tramway that takes off to left (south). The bottom photo has a label in the lower right corner that says, "No. 682, Bledsoe Photo Co., L.A. Cal."
