Vol. 1 No. 37. Saturday February 27, 1875. Measures 10” x 13.75” and 20” x 13.75” unfolded. Paper provided local and state news as well as advertisements for the town’s businesses. Some wear, there are creases and tears present. Panamint City was funded by Nevada Senator John P. Jones in an agreement with 3 Wells Fargo stagecoach bandits. The town soon grew to a population of 2,000 and was known for its rowdy and wild reputation. This is an extremely rare piece, and is one of the first to hit the market in over ten years.
