The Twenty Mule Team in front of Harmony Borax Works, Death Valley National Park, California.

From Wikipedia: Twenty mule teams were teams of eighteen mules and two horses attached to large wagons that ferried borax out of Death Valley from 1883 to 1889. They traveled from mines to the nearest railroad spur, 165 miles (275 km) away in Mojave, California.

Also, there is a product by this name: The Twenty-mule-team Borax, a brand of cleaner manufactured by the Dial Corporation, the US soap manufacturer.
