A group of people in the town of Creede, Colorado, in Mineral County, stand on the porch of a store and along the dirt road in front of it and look into the distance. A man sits on a horse, and several of the men hold shovels and picks over their shoulders. Architectural features of the wood-frame commercial storefronts include a false front, shingles, and large, display windows. The canton behind the town is in the background. "Wallpaper prints, Quinn Bros. Painters Supplies, House and Sign Painting Canvasing, Paperhanging" "Warren Coulson New Second Hand Goods Bought and Sold" "Carpenter Tools for Sale Cheap" "The Cafe Olds Bros. Prop'rs" signs show on the street.
