DescriptionRaymond Schmidt stands beside a well in Chloride, New Mexico. The well is wooden with a rope leading into the well. His left hand is resting on the wall of the well and he is facing the camera. He is wearing blue jeans, a buttoned shirt jacket over a plaid button-down shirt, eyeglasses, and short-brimmed hat with a black ribbon band. A tin can is attached to the wooden supports of the well.
