Ultra rare certificate. District was located in Esmeralda County about thirty-six miles southwest of Belmont. Ore was discovered in 1863 by a party of Mexicans, and a district was at once organized and incorporated on January 9th 1864. Considerable work was done during the ensuing few years. In 1865 a ten-stamp mill was built at San Antone Station, in Smoky Valley, twelve miles distant, but after being operated a year it was pulled down and removed to some other mining locality. A four-stamp mill was also built in 1867, but was only run a year. [REF: http://www.theusgenweb.org/nv/nye/nye1881.html]. No. 11 for 120 shares, has a decorative, thin border with decorative text and a vignette of an Indian on the right side. One brown R48 R4 hand tied perf stamp at left. 5" x 4.5".
