The tent has wood sides and a white canvas top with a stove pipe protruding from the left side. There are shovels and pickaxes leaning against the right side of the tent against the wood. The first man from the left is George Bedford and he is wearing a flat cap with black pants, suspenders, and a button-up long-sleeved shirt, and has his hands on his knees. The second man is Anthony Dombrosky and he sits with legs crossed wearing a fedora and a kerchief around his neck with his hands in his lap. The third man is Elmer Riggs and he is facing slightly to the left of the camera, and wears a black vest and pants with a white long-sleeved shirt and a narrow brimmed hat. The fourth man is Elmer's son Calvin Harold Riggs and he is sitting with his arms crossed looking down and to the left of the camera. He wears slim leggings that lace up on the outer calf. The fifth man is John Abbott and he is sitting with his legs crossed and one hand on his knee. He is wearing a fedora, black vest, and a long-sleeved shirt. Handwriting is below the photograph.
