The paper started as a twenty-four column weekly by Frank Kenyon, at Aurora, on the thirteenth of October, 1877, and it continued as his property until March 1, 1880, when it was purchased by M. M. Glen. It was a weekly paper, slanted toward Republican politics. The Herald was suspended on August 4, 1883 due to the decline of Aurora. The plant was moved to Hawthorne but the paper permanently folded less than a year later. The general content of the newspaper is advertisements, legal notices, local newsworthy items, snippets of information from other localities, and editorial opinions[Ref: http://www.twainquotes.com/esmeralda.html; Lingenfelter, Richard E. and Karen Rix Gash, The Newspapers of Nevada: A History and Bibliography 1854-1979, 1984. p. 6.]
