Interesting pic, my count adds up to a 'twenty mule team' on each set of wagons with what looks like an Outrider clear at the right of the pic in front of the bottom team.
Best regards and see if you can figure out which one is Ronald Reagan and where the crew from 'Death Valley Days' is in the pic!

I know people robbed banks, stagecoaches, and trains. What about these ore teams - especially in gold country?

Not unless they had a breaker, a stamp mill and a smelter handy.

I suppose the men could have pocket change to rob. ;) Or maybe the mules themselves,
