Lot of 2 matted and under Plexiglas editions of different Bodie newspapers, 22" x 28". 1. The Daily Bodie Standard Tuesday 6 January 1880 edition includes the stock report and an entire page full of delinquent sale notices. There is no information about who the editor or owner of this paper was, but it seems this paper was only in existence for about a year. This particular paper is in poor condition. Very yellow with flaking edges. 2. The Bodie Evening Miner, several editions from 1882 and 1884. The editions from 1882 are in better shape than the 1884 edition. Orlando E. Jones was the editor of this newspaper. He had a long history of starting newspapers and failing before he came to Bodie and established the Evening Miner. It was a success for him and lasted about ten years [Lingenfelter, Richard E. The Newspapers of Nevada, 1984]
