Bisbee Miners

I came across this picture. Can somebody help me identify or know who these men are. This picture was taken around 1890-1900. The man on the bottom row, second man starting from the left looks like my Grandfather Angel Baldenegro, but I am not sure if that's him.



Note the candles in this circa 1908 image. Miners used the light from candles to illuminate their dark work environments until electricity was installed in Bisbee’s mines. The image is from the photograph collection of the Bisbee Mining & Historical Museum. Discover more Bisbee, Arizona images and artifacts at www.facebook.com/.... #bisbee #arizona #mining #copper

  1. On the bottom row starting from the left, the fourth man resembles my Grandfather Angel. Don't know if it is, its possible.
