CALIFORNA GOLD RUSH ERA - NEVADA CITY GOLD & SILVER MINING TRANSFER RECEIPT 186_
DESCRIPTION
Unused , stock transfer receipt, 4 ½ x 8, blue paper. Pennsylvania No. 2 Gold & Silver Mining Co. of Nevada City.
Originally a mining camp founded along Deer Creek in 1849, Nevada City rapidly became the largest and wealthiest mining town in California. Throughout the 1850s and 1860s, the city of Nevada grew in size and prominence, despite a series of seven disastrous fires that roared through town. At one point Nevada City was the third largest city in California with a population of 10,000. During the mining heydays, Nevada City and its sibling city, Grass Valley, were surrounded by mines with stamp mills crushing ore to extract gold twenty-four hours per day, 364 days per year. The mines closed only one day per year, for the annual Miner’s Picnic. Mines such as the Empire, Northstar, Pennsylvania, Idaho-Maryland and Brunswick were world-famous.
Unused, near mint. Comes with storyboard display ( on with archival corner mount, not permanently attached). (see scan). Domestic post will be .65
