1877-1920-An album containing 13 stock certificates, 6 Justice Court documents; 4 5" x 7” black/white photos; 2 stage-line billheads and one receipt; and 2 letterheads, one with receipt and one with accompanying 1908 photo postcard. The stock certificates are from the following companies: Silver Prize G. & S. M. Co. (1877); Yankee Blade Mill & Mining Co. (1877); Argenta Mining Co. (1887); Seal of Nevada MC, (188x); 2 North Belle Isle MC (1888 & 1892); 2 Belle Isle MC certificates (1879 & 1892); Grand Prize MC (1882); Navajo MC, (1893); Commonwealth Consolidated MC (1898); Independence MC (1879); and Central Consolidated MC (1883). The Justice Court documents include a 1918 arrest certificate for a horse thief, a Writ of Attachment dated 1913, and 4 court documents relating to a complaint brought by the Nevada Industrial Commission against Holden Mining & Milling Company in 1918. The 4 photos include various views of Tuscarora’s main street, one with snow on the ground. The billheads are from the Tuscarora-Elko Stage Line. One is actually a monthly report form and the other a billhead and both are unused, as is the accompanying receipt form datelined Tuscarora. One letterhead is for the Tuscarora and Mountain City Telephone Company, is unused, and is accompanied by a real photo post card of Tuscarora’s main street; it is postmarked 1908. The final letter is addressed to Messrs. Lambert & Co. from the Elko-Tuscarora Mercantile Co., dated 1896 and the accompanying receipt is for the $25 mentioned in the letter. Tuscarora was named after a Civil war ship. Its most productive years were 1869 to 1890, when its silver mines were producing. It had a Chinatown, as Chinese railroad workers stayed on to placer mine. A fabulous collection in VF condition. HKA#58965
