Nevada Metallurgical Works Letterhead and Envelope Ò Assayers E. Huhn and C.A. Luckhardt, San Francisco, CA, Dated February 21st, 1876 Ò Letter to Mr. H. Sharps of S. Mark & Co. in Roseburg, Oregon concerning the assay of a sample of sulphurets. The contents of the letter (cover enclosed) discuss the refining costs per ton for roasting at least $8.50 and the additional costs of amalgamation or chlorination at $4.00 per ton. In the mid 1860Ìs Luckhardt was hired by William Sharon of the Virginia City Branch of the Bank of California to assess which mining and mill properties the bank should buy out during a depression on the Comstock. In 1881 J.M. Seymour and C.A. Luckhardt represented the South Pacific Mining Co. a worthless property and added to the board of directors some respected individuals not previously associated with mining scams and promoted the property until it became the speculative favorite of Broadway. The price went from $1 par to over $14. They made millions at the expense of unsuspecting market players and investors. [Lingenfelter, 1986, Death Valley & the Amargosa, p. 158-159].
