A Window Into Yesteryear

          Here is a series of Picher, Oklahoma when it was young and untamed.  I believe that this view is taken from the Premeir mine tailing pile. The large mill is the St. Joe.  It was on South Main Street and next to where the old city park was. Note the store buildings which are about where that park was.  The big building is a rooming house where miners rented rooms. There is a washing on the clothesline behind the shack and a big billboard advertises something.  Picher was four years old when these pictures were taken.

                    Looking east from the Premeir mine you can see this large mine and mill, which is probably the Black Hawk mine and mill.  In the foreground is one of the better houses of the time.  It looks like it has a two hole outhouse from the size of it.  The road in front of it is probably Connell Ave.
