A "Prospector's Palace." Typical miner's camp, makeshift cabin-living quarters with various supplies from the 1890s in Yavapai County, Arizona. The writing on the photo front says, "A Prospector's Palace, Copyright 1907 by P.C. Ainitobis."
Miner's cabins were very simple structures. Most were erected and inhabited on a temporary basis. Building materials consisted of limited salvage and lumber, and anything of use in their immediate surroundings that could be collected and fastened together to provide simple shelter and comfort. Once the amount of ore obtained from a dig waned, cabins were often dismanteled, loaded onto burros, and then set up in another location.
