Tulare,  CA.  Chinese boy.  Circa 1900.
 Here's a cabinet card photograph of a Chinese boy in traditional dress, including the queue hair braid.
From the studio of  P. F. Adelsbach (Percy F. Adelsbach),  Tulare  CA.  Circa 1900. 
 P. F. Adelsbach apparently closed his Tulare studio in 1901 and opened a photo studio in Porterville. 
By 1905,  Adelsbach was the editor and publisher of The Kingsburg Recorder and The Western Bee Journal.   Apparently at one time he was also the publisher of the Porterville Daily Recorder.
