I thought I showed these photos before but I cant find them. Took a few photos today of them. Only had sellers photos.
Here is a copy of the photo in National Geographic with the words marked out. Might of been copyright stuff. The article says 1918 but my photo says 1909. The national geographic photo doesnt show the date.
There use to be somewhere on National Geographics website where you could purchase copies of the photo and a few others from J. Horgan Jr. Cant find them anymore.

I took the photo to a local photography place and they said both pics are real. The photos came from an estate sale of a man that worked at the mine.
The photographer most likely use glass plate photography. I dont know how many negatives were made from that glass plate. Most likely not a lot.
J. Horgan Jr. was a well known photographer that worked for the Scranton newspaper.
Might be the first photo ever of petrified wood in a mine.
