M and W Mining, 1942
From the 1947 Mining Directory:

Welty, Secretary; both acting as Purchasing Agent and Superinstendent. Located 2 1-2 miles east of Picher, Oklahoma. Has 1 mine shaft. Rock is milled over mill northwest of Baxter Springs, Kansas. Has been in operation 25 years. See M. & W. Mining Company, Inc.

The above
also explains the "Huttig 3" on the little sign at the
right.
So many of these miners of yesteryear look terribly
familiar. I can't believe nobody recognizes any
of them.
Send me your best guess, and I'll post it.
Otherwise, we'll never get any names on these people.
