The card shows about a dozen men sitting and standing on a rocky desert hillside. The caption reads: The Great Strike, Bovard, Nev., McClelland Photo. And off to one side is printed: Golden Pen (or “Den”). The message reads: Miss Mills. I suppose you have heard of the latest strike here. I am an honorable citizen here at present. (Signed) H.A. French. Two postmarks—one from Schurz (NV), date illegible and the other from Reno, 1908. Helen Carlson (Nevada Place Names, p. 57) notes that Bovard is located about 22 miles northeast of Hawthorne on the east slope of the Gabbs Valley Range. Founded in May, 1908 as a result of ore discoveries of the month before.
