1867-Gold dust deposit receipt for 156 oz, 6 dwt, 21 gr on H.D. & Co., Virginia City, MT Territory. signed by Trustee, J. Wall. The mines at Bannock were the first lode mines worked in Montana Territory, and the first to build a mill. (1862). The Bannock placers were discovered at Grasshopper Creek. This company built a ditch to supply water to nearby placer mines, which was expected to “give employment to a large number of miners”, according to Browne in his 1868 Resources of States and Territories West of the Rocky Mountains. Montana was different from other western states because gold dust was shipped east instead of west “up the Missouri River or across the plains.” Extremely Fine. No photograph. $150. HKA#64023
