Finley W. Phillips had taken up photography in Hollister, California by 1882. In the 1890s he worked in various mines and mine towns in Mohave County, Arizona alternately (or perhaps simultaneously) as a photographer or a mine worker. He was a photographer in Kingman, Arizona on the 1920 Census, the last mention of his work in photography. He returned to California shortly thereafter, still in the employ of a mining company, and died in Los Angeles in 1936.
