District Recorder`s record pages, rebound and recovered in this overall book. There are numerous pages of hand-written pages of Certificate of Location for mining claims, Proof of Labor documents, ledger entries, recorded descriptions for legal purposes, and many others. The pages measure 15.5x10, and show aging wear at the edges. The pages themselves are in very good condition, and the writing is quite legible. There are some pages that have water staining, which has dissolved some of the lettering. The book cover is much larger, and is newer, not related to these pages. Belmont was the county seat of Nye Co. in the center of the large Philadelphia Mining District. There were 10 working mines in the late 1800`s, with the Belmont mine being the deepest at 500`. The town of Eureka is 109 miles away. This is a very historic piece, full of elaborate records for the collector.Maish Collection HKA#62951
