Lumber for the Comstock lot
Mining may have been the king of the Comstock, but lumbering was the queen. Without lumber there would be no mills, no deep mines, no building. This is a great group of 4 Virginia City pieces associated with lumbering. 1) Billhead from the Sierra Nevada Wood & Lumber Co. From J B Overton, superintendent. 2) Bank of California Check from same company signed by Overton. 3) Bank of California check imprinted with Carson And Tahoe Lumber and Fluming Company. Signature of D. L. Bliss, extremely important lumbering figure, Bliss State Park in Lake Tahoe. 4) Bank of California check from the Hobart Marlette Co. The first 2 checks are revenue imprinted and the third has a revenue stamp attached.City: Virginia CityCounty: StoreyState: NV
