He said he first saw the city, like a Mirage, in 1887. He took a photo as evidence that this phenomenon was real.

Original news
An American prospector, Mr. Willoughby, claimed he heard an Indian legend of a city appearing in the sky each summer near Mount Fairweather, on the Alaska-Yukon border. Mr. Willoughby said he first saw the mirage in 1887 and offered a photograph as proof that the phenomenon was real. In 1889, the New York Times reported that the city in Willoughby’s photograph had been identified as Bristol, England. This story and the photograph were included in a later edition of Miner Bruce’s Alaska.

Distinguish mirages:

- side
Inferior Mirage occurs when a large vertical temperature gradient (drop it with the height) over a superheated flat surface, often desert or paved road. Usually this "puddle" on asphalte or sand.

Investigation
For Mirage rather strange angle photos.
