Here is a drawing of a miner smoking a cigarette and holding a pick. Bill Nye was an American humorist and journalist who lived in Wyoming from 1876 to 1886, where he was admitted to the bar and became a judge. Nye also founded and edited the Laramie Boomerang, and contributed to it humorous comments and yarns of frontier life.
