Miners Exchange at G. Baker Saloon, Dillon, Wyoming, 1904

In addition to her own photography, Lora collected "scenes,” as she referred to them, that were held by others. She paid for them and used them in her postcard business. The town of Dillon was located near the Rudefeha Mine by the Sierra Madre mountain range. The town was formed when alcohol was banned in the company town of Rudefeha. By 1907 both Dillon and Rudefeha were ghost towns.
