Hats And Boots

I saw this guy at a mule show and thought his hat looked well worn and different.

Powder Box Church Again

Another picture of the Powder Box Church. This view shows the Douglas Mansion on the hill in the background, now Jerome State Historic Park. The mansion was built in 1916 at a cost of $150,000.00. The Douglas family owned the mine. The Powder Box church was actually called the Mexican Methodist Church. The nickname was built of scrap wood from the discarded dynamite boxes. It is now a private residence.
