The Honest Miner

Nineteenth Century artist W. H. Davidson wryly charts the life of the "Honest Miner": a cycle of luck, drink, poverty, salting his poor holding with gold in order to sell it, succumbing to the "tiger"—the faro dealer—and finally burial. Circa 1860. Courtesy Nevada Historical Society.
