Goldfield,NV - Esmeralda County - 1911 - Mohawk Mine Employee Payment Ledger :
Ledger lists mine employees by name, employee number, occupation, days worked, Total Time, and Rate Per Day. Months listed are May, July, and September of 1913; as well as January, March, May, and July of 1914. Inside cover page has "Mohawk, Ed. Kennedy, Shift Boss, March 1st, 1911," handwritten on it. The name "Ed. Kennedy" has been lined through, with E. Orr written in its place. "Manufactured by H.S. Crocker Co., San Francisco" rubber stamped on inside cover. Beige color, hardcover with back cover no longer attached to spine, and water damage blurring about 1/2 of the listings (most are still readable). Book almost completely filled with entries. The Mohawk mine was called "one of the richest pieces of ground in Nevada, if not the world," with production of over $8,000,000 prior to the mine becoming part of the Goldfield Consolidated Mining Company in late 1906.
