On September 22, 1857 this Second of Exchange was issued to William F. Conant of New York for $200. Note: the Watermelon War/Riots allegedly resulted from a drunken American sailor stealing a slice of watermelon from a local street vendor. A struggle followed, a gun went off, a riot ensued, and in the end some 17 people were killed and 31 wounded. The $400k-plus compensation was one of several terms proposed/demanded by the US government to the Republic of New Granada which also included the transfer of several Bay of Panama islands to the US for use as naval bases.

Patterson/Director, U.S. Mint to Senator Thomas H. Benton regarding a Dr. Lewis Feuchtwanger’s suggestion of substituting his US trial coin invention he called “German silver” in place of the copper coinage in use in the US at that time. Letter dated January 22, 1838, originally included in Senate minutes document, pp 1-3 of Section [122}, 25th Congress, 2d Session. Director Patterson was very much against the idea for many reasons, most notably that German silver had no silver. As noted in his letter, “The German silver, argentan, or packfong (“a compound long since employed in China”), is a complicated and very variable compound, as is shown in the following table of analysis. . . It appears, then, that the German silver is at least a quintuple compound, of very variable and uncertain properties; a serious objection, unquestionably, to its employment in coinage.” Note: 1838 was a time of severe financial upheaval in the US. The panic of 1837 led to a severe recession which lasted until the mid-1840s. Banks collapsed, businesses failed, prices declined, and thousands of workers lost their jobs. Throughout all this we saw the opening of (short lived) branch mints in Charlotte/NC and Dahlonega/Georgia which produced no silver coinage. (Note text from Wikipedia.)

It is commonly used in Pakistan, India, Nepal and some other south Asian countries. In some parts in India, tola is also spelled as tolah, thulam, tulam, or tole. Tola is one of the traditional Indian units for weight measurement of gold and silver.

Also, there are 5 Tolas and 10 Tolas bars with the H.M.

Is it a fantasy piece made at the time sold for fun at the bar to touring miners or prospectors? Was it dug in a Rawhide dump before the open pit mine consumed the entire town of Rawhide?

Est. $100-300 HWAC# 146092Rancher’s Exploration and Development Corporation had a big stock move in 1980 after the company discovered silver at the Escalante Silver Mine and the price of silver was pushed to unprecedented heights. The Hunt Brothers put the squeeze on silver in 1979 and 1980 trying to corner the market. The Hunts were able to drive the price of silver up from $6 at the beginning of 1979 to $51 in January 1980 when the price of silver peaked before dropping precipitously to $11 by March of 1980. Ranchers Exploration began offering to pay dividends not in US Dollars, but in gold and silver, in part to attract shareholders to their stock. This was a landmark event for a public mining company. It took advantage of a “loophole” in Federal tax law that allowed payment “in kind” in lieu of cash, and was untaxable until it was sold. This did not sit well with the IRS, who changed the law immediately to render any change in hands of bullion taxable as cash. The Dutch East India Company had regularly paid in-kind dividends to its shareholders in the 1600s and the Ranchers Development and Exploration Corp. decided to follow in their footsteps. The June 1981 dividend was payable in 2.5 grams of gold for every 500 shares held. Holders who owned 6,221 shares received a one-ounce gold bar. Cash equal to $0.0766 was paid for fractional shares. The September 1981 dividend was payable in 2.5 grams for each 400 shares held. Holders of 4,997 shares received a one-ounce bar in gold. Gold was selling at $600 an ounce on June 8, 1981 and $700 an ounce on September 24, 1981. In 1981, Ranchers Exploration had about three million shares outstanding, so the company would have paid out about 600 ounces in gold. In December, the company switched from gold to silver, and shareholders received a one-ounce bar of silver for every 120 shares that they owned. This would mean that the company paid out 25,000 ounces of silver to its shareholders. The March and June 1982 dividends were also payable in silver at the rate of 1 ounce of silver for each 120 shares, the September 1982 at the rate of 1 ounce of silver for each 100 shares, and the December 1982 dividend was payable in gold at the rate of 1 ounce of gold for every 4,977 shares. The 1983 dividends were payable at the rate of 1 ounce of silver for each 100 shares owned and the 1984 dividends were payable at the rate of 1 ounce of silver for each 150 shares owned. Investors who were tired of getting paid in dollars that were rapidly losing their value to inflation piled into the stock. The price of Ranchers Exploration shares gyrated with the price of gold and silver The stock price fell from over $65 at its peak in April 1981 to $12.50 in March 1982 and rose up to $53 ($35.25 after the 3-for-2 split) in April 1984. Other corporations saw value in the company, and on July 27, 1984, Ranchers Exploration and Development Corp. was acquired by Hecla Mining with shareholders receiving 1.55 shares of Hecla Mining Co. common stock, equivalent to about $21 in cash. Hecla Mining did pay dividends to its shareholders, but in cash, not in gold or silver. The Escalante mine produced about 15.5 million troy ounces of silver over its life, including 2.3 million ounces last year plus 1,080 ounces of gold from 294,000 tons of ore milled. Hecla closed the mine in 1988, after acquiring Ranchers Exploration in 1984.Ranchers Exploration

Johnson Matthey was established in 1817 in London as an assay company that tested the purity of precious metals. The business expanded rapidly and in 1852, it was appointed as the official assayer and refiner to the Bank of England. Success continued as the company was commissioned to produce the kilogram reference standard in 1874.During the 20th century, Johnson Matthey began refining and manufacturing silver bars from their headquarters in the UK. However, these bars become very popular in North America and other parts of the world. Refineries were opened in Utah and Ontario to help supply the American market with silver bullion. These two facilities were later sold to a Japanese company in 2015. Silver bullion for investors are no longer produced by Johnson Matthey. Rather, the company now focuses on industrial metals, chemicals, and other endeavors.Est. $400-800 HWAC# 145994Lot# 2382 Johnson Matthey Silver Ingot Group Group of Johnson Matthey silver ingots: 1) Ten ounce ingot[Diamond JM Logo with Crossed Hammers] [10 OZ] [999+]: 2) 5 grams encased in lucite with chain (serial number 050811); 3) 5 grams (serial number 111595); 4) 5 grams (serial number 159799); 5) 10 grams (serial number 013927); 6) 5 grams (serial number 192587); 7) 5 grams (serial number 057769; 8) 1 gram serial number 8674).

BY FOSTER, INC., WALLA WALLA, WASH.] The general consensus amongst the collector community is that W. H. Foster, Inc. was in operation from roughly 1968, until their name change to Lewis & Clark Mint, Inc. in 1972. There is further evidence that suggests Hercules Picerne and Bob Naimy operated the W. H. Foster, Inc. coin shop and mail order business as early as 1964. The earliest dated production pieces are the 1966 tokens which were given to customers depending on the size of their orders and it is speculated that these tokens were possibly produced by Northwest Historical Medals, Inc. given their Walla Walla, Washington location in the Paine Building was shared with W.

The Franklin Mint capitalized on this growing interest around shipwreck items by producing a set for The British Virgin Islands; the Treasure Coins of the Caribbean Set contained a total of 25 coins, each weighing 19.09 grams of sterling (.925-fine) silver. This meant that each coin weighs 0.5677 ounces with the total set weighing 14.192 ounces. The concept of the set was to feature items that would be found in Caribbean shipwrecks. The set included the following coin designs: Crossed Cannons, Porcelain Cup, Sextant, Emerald Ring, Gold Doubloon, Anchor, Brass Nocturnal, Sword Guillon, Gold Bar, Gold Escudo, Ivory Sundial, Gold Monstrance, Teapot, Brass Religious Medallion, Astrolabe, Bells, Porcelain Bottle, Dutch Cannons, Spanish Cob Coin, Ship Lantern, Brass Dividers, Gold Cross, Perfume Bottle, Pocket Watch, and Gold Bracelet.

Br. rd., 30 mm.The backlash against “alien” groups “infesting” American life after World War I assumed its most virulent form in a revival of the Ku Klux Klan. The organization had first emerged in the rural South after the Civil War, seeking to intimidate blacks from voting or holding office, and had pretty much died out by 1900. The zealous patriotism fostered by American intervention in World War I helped revive the Klan. In its new form it was more of an urban than a rural phenomenon. It adopted a broader agenda than the original organization, and its membership grew across the nation. By 1926 it boasted over 3 million members. Klan intolerance now went beyond blacks to include Jews, Catholics, Communists, and labor unionists. Texas dentist Hiram Evans assumed leadership of the organization in 1926.

129View complete catalog, Register, and Bid online at FHWAC.comDAY 3 Sat, Feb 26 Minerals Lot# 3000 Ametrine Gems - Amethyst & Citrine Together Four spectacular, emerald-cut gemstones made of Ametrine, a naturally occurring combination of purple Amethyst in contact with yellow Citrine, both variations of quartz. Weights are 6.00, 6.32, 7.68, and 7.74 ct (total for the lot is 27.74 ct), and the colors of all four gems are split right down the middle with violet-purple Amethyst and golden-yellow Citrine in direct contact without any clear quartz between. These appear to be from the Anahi Mine in southeast Bolivia, the only commercial producer of Ametrine, which also goes by the name of Bolivianite as an homage to the material becoming the national gemstone of Bolivia. The golden-yellow color of Citrine is believed to be caused by Fe3+ ions distributed within the quartz. The purple color or Amethyst is attributed to the presence of Fe3+ ions in the quartz which have been oxidized to Fe4+ by long exposure to natural radioactive decay of potassium 40 in adjacent rocks. Finding the two saturated colors in direct contact is rare and contributes to the popularity of these gemstones. Est. $400-700 HWAC# 145348Lot# 3001 Apatite & Peridot Mineral Group Pale, green, and beautiful in the rough and when faceted, these two minerals are similar in color with very different origins. Peridot is the gem form of olivine, a magnesium-iron silicate that forms under intense heat and pressure of the upper mantle. Apatite is a calcium phosphate and the mineral is found in our teeth and bones. The two minerals are similar in appearance, and we believe we got them sorted out correctly. There are nine small cylindrical plastic boxes with cut and faceted stones of apatite and peridot; one small plastic box of five, tumble-polished peridots from Arizona; two natural apatite crystals, 4.3 and 3.1 grams; two rough peridot stones, 4.1 grams total; two small bags of rough peridot stones, 10 grams total; and a 3.43 carat, cut and polished, oval apatite gemstone from Kenya. A very nice lot for jewelry making.

These are yellowish, clear crystals with an outer layer of creamy tan material. This is a beautiful display piece, and it shows some small spots indicating it has previously been mounted for display. Est. $300-500 HWAC# 143753Lot# 3004 Dioptase Specimen Group - 5 Dioptase is an intense, emerald-green copper cyclosilicate. The crystalline specimens come from Arizona and Namibia. These five pieces have very well-formed and lustrous crystals. Two are in one-inch plastic cube boxes (from Arizona), and three are in white specimen boxes (from Namibia). See photo for details. Very nice additions to your thumb-size mineral collection. Est. $120-200 HWAC# 145335Lot# 3005 Emeralds, Aquamarines, and Rubies - Small Gems Beryl is an aluminosilicate mineral known as Aquamarine when it is a pale blue color and Emerald when it is a deep green color (caused by the presence of chromium or vanadium). Corundum is an aluminum oxide the appears as Ruby when chromium is present and Sapphire with other elements present. This lot contains 24.13 ct of rough Emerald crystals with their characteristic hexagonal cross-section. These are not clear gem quality but good for polishing into cabochons. Two small (0.5 and 0.55 ct) Emerald cabochons appear in this lot. There are a pair of small plastic boxes containing two square-cut Aquamarine gems (2.73 and 1.17 ct) and a 0.98 ct round Aquamarine gem. Finally there are two ruby “star” corundum cabochons (6.63 ct and 5.88 ct) that show the internal reflections caused the presence of oriented crystals of Rutile as inclusions in the corundum. This also occurs in star sapphires. Est. $200-500 HWAC# 145346Lot# 3006 Garnet Specimen Group A variety of garnet specimens, six in one-inch plastic cube boxes from Finland, Utah, and Garnet Hill, Nevada (near Ruth and Ely).

Est. $160-240 HWAC# 145334Lot# 3007 Herkimer Diamonds (Quartz) - 410 grams Herkimer Diamonds are doubly-terminated quartz crystals -- hexagonal crystals with points on both ends. There are approximately 188 water-clear pieces in this lot with a total weight of about 410 grams. The largest piece I found in the batch weighed 10.4 grams, and all of them are bigger than about 3/8ths of an inch long. They get their name from Herkimer County, New York where large deposits of them were found. They can also be found in the Ukraine, Afghanistan, China, and Norway. Herkimer Diamonds are popular with collectors for their doubly-terminated, symmetrical crystal form, and jewelers will often mount them individually in pendants or brooches. These specimens are in great condition with few nicks or fractures to diminish their appearance. A very sparkly collection.

Second side “In recognition of your/ years of service from/ your fellow smiths of/ Co. of Cochise/ Every Miners/ Friend!” 4”tall, 8”long1.5”thick anvil, cut in half and hand punch lettered on each side. The name Fulton Foundry is difficult to trace. It appears to be a long standing name for quality in the foundry business, possibly with origins at least as far back as the 1700s in Scotland and Ireland. On the West Coast, the name Fulton related to a foundry or Iron Works first appears in San Francisco in 1855. None of the Fulton foundries we researched all over America in the nineteenth century was run by a person with a Fulton surname. The name was used world wide all through the nineteenth century. The Fulton Foundry in Virginia City, unrelated to our man John Fulton, was at one time one of the top producing foundries on the West Coast. It apparently was the second foundry on the Comstock, formed by Edwards and Hughes, in 1861. It changed hands several times over the first few years, according to Myron Angel in History of Nevada (1881) and was apparently a bit inconsequential, as it is not listed in several of the early directories. In 1869 it was taken over by the Bank of California (probably the result of a failed loan), who hired two engineers from the Central Pacific Railroad to run the operation. The business then forever changed course, making important parts for the V & T RR and large equipment for Comstock mines, such as giant fly wheels for hoisting, weighing over 20 tons. The first successful foundry on the Comstock was started by Placerville iron man John McCone in 1862 and two partners, Mead and Tasker. McCone bought out the pair, moved the operation to the Divide, and grew the business. McCone bought the Fulton Foundry from the Bank in 1872 just before the height of the Crown point bonanza. McCone died in 1876. As business dwindled after rich bonanzas started to run out in 1877, the Foundry found itself with a reduced work crew of about 30, down from over 110 just a few years earlier. No man named Fulton ever ran the Fulton Foundry in Virginia City, nor most of the Fulton Foundries around the globe. It was a very common name that meant quality, perhaps going back hundreds of years to Scotland-Ireland as its roots.

This important group of material comes in the aftermath of the Speculator Mine fire that occurred on June 8, 1917, resulting in the death of 168 miners. This was the most deadly event in underground hard rock mining in United States history. Several days after the Speculator disaster, miners began to walk off the job at copper mines all over the city in protest of the poor working conditions. This led to the formation of the Metal Mine Workers’ Union, an unaffiliated and independent union, who petitioned the Anaconda Copper Company and its subsidiaries for recognition of their union, demanding safer working conditions and wage increases. By the end of June, other trade unions, including the Electricians, Boilermakers, Blacksmiths, and Metal Trades Machinists of Butte, joined the miners in their strike. But the mining companies resisted the mining union organizers’ efforts and chose to work with the other trade unions. Frank Little, an American labor leader and member of the Industrial Workers of the World, arrived in Butte to support the miners. Little, for his support of the miners, was killed by six masked men on August 1, 1917. The miners’ union continued to strike through 1917, however, many miners returned to work before its official end. The Metal Mine Workers’ Union officially called off the strike on December 18, 1917. Group includes multi-page typed responses from Mrs. Jack Adams, two addressed to CF Kelley of the Anaconda Copper Company. Dated July 17th, 19th, 23rd, and 31st, 1917. (All done before Little was assassinated) Calls out the management at Anaconda Copper Company as well as the Anaconda Standard newspaper for their role in the disaster and/or feeding mis-information about the mine unions and conditions for workers. Also typed statement from Thomas Campbell, a key Union figure. Also a typed letter to Mr. Barker, federal investigator, from an unnamed person, covering the history of union efforts in Montana including the Speculator Disaster. Other correspondence includes: Aug. 30, 1917 letter from the Butte Metal Trades Council to Jeanette Rankin (Montana congresswoman and 1st woman to hold federal office); August 17th agreement between Butte Electrical Railway Co. and IBEW local Union 65; July 16th, 1917 agreement between Montana Power Co. and IBEW; August 1st, 1917 agreement between Butte, Anaconda & Pacific Railway and IBEW; and an undated letter to Rankin discussing a Butte miner who was blacklisted due to his political beliefs.

These are triangulation diagrams that we in the mining business use to locate various surveyed claims (patents, etc.) in use for title work of mining properties. As might be expected, there are thousands of surveyed lode claims as well as hundreds of placer claims. The data here appears to be just post-1900 and are early large-scale xerox copies, possibly used by the Anaconda Company. Only a few hand written notes are included here and there. This is an Important database that would take a lot of work to reproduce today. Stuart Mackenzie Montana Ephemera CollectionEst. $800-2000 HWAC# 145755Lot# 3055 Butte, Montana Jas. B. Leahy, Butte Mining Broker Archive, 1886-1893 A major archive of five letterpress books and two business ledgers from James B. Leahy of Butte (City), 1886-1893. Leahy was sole proprietor of the Real Estate Mining and Commission Company. From his newspaper advertisements in the Butte papers, it appears Leahy was one of the key mining stock promoters in the region. Leahy was the key promoter for such key mines as the Original Butte, Moulton, Alice, Black Pine, Flint Creek, Montana Fire Clay, Granite Mountain, West Granite, Tuscarora (in Argenta, Beaverhead Co.). His business was so successful that he opened office in the summer of 1890 in Spokane and Boise. These letterbooks are remarkable, clearly showing how, when, where and why he promoted the various mines. There is mention in letters of his meetings with Wm. A. Clark, Marcus Daly and others. One of his later ventures, the Montana Fire Clay Co., was particularly important to Clark, and the company pushed hard for production, as their sales agents outsold the company’s ability to mine the clay. This group is particularly important, as it opens a window into Stuart Mackenzie’s collecting life. Many of the major stock certificate finds of his are the very company’s that Leahy promoted. Did Mackenzie get into an original archive of Leahy, complete with all the stocks? maybe. He has many of the records for the Alice MC (another lot in the sale), among others. Unfortunately for researchers, no obituary was found, and he missed US census takers. This may be the best original record set of a Montana mining promoter of key mines extant.

136February 2022DAY 3 Sat, Feb 26 MiningLot# 3058 Klein, Montana 1917 United Mine Workers Ephemera Re: Coal Mining Strike at Klein Lot of 6 multi-page letters regarding a 1917 coal mining strike at Klein, Montana. Klein is located in Musselshell County. 1) Two copies of a 5-page typed letter from the United Mine Workers of America, Klein, August 2nd, 1917, to the directors of the Republic Coal Company. Discusses violation of 1912 company agreements relating to the number of cars assigned to each pair of miners, as well as preference to older miners over new hires, and car bearing men over non-car bearing men. These violations have resulted in too many miners being employed and not having enough work to do. 2) Four 1917 letters addressed to Jeanette Rankin, who was a Montana Congresswoman at the time, seeking her help in the mining strike. (Rankin was the first woman to hold federal office in the United States, and the only woman elected to Congress to represent Montana.) Three of the letters are written on pictorial letterhead for the united Mine Workers Klein office. Letters are each multiple pages. One letter mention that over 170 men have left Klein due to the strike “and as long as this war continues there is little chance of them getting any miners.” Fascinating and historically significant.

Stuart Mackenzie Montana Ephemera CollectionEst. $200-400 HWAC# 146150Frederick Robert (Roderick) Merk (1833-1912) Frederick Robert Merk was a Montana Pioneer, expert businessman in hardware and mercantile companies, very profitable mining ventures and ranching (farms) in Montana. This collection is a massive family archive of letters from the mid 1850s through and after the death of the patriarch in 1912. He was one of the moving forces in the development of several important mining camps - Virginia City, Twin Bridges, Silver Star and Rochester. His son William continued the businesses for the family in Fred’s older years and afterwards. The archive consists of about 2000-2500 or more hand written letters primarily among family members, but also a large correspondence regarding his mining ventures and some financial records. One of the keys here is that these letters are full of detail, with many pages each with very little brevity. The letters are organized in notebook form by specific correspondent and years, occupying about two cubic feet. They offer an incredible inside look at the discovery and development of important mines at Twin Bridges, and how, over time, Merk tried to ìsell out”but got the mines back, then changing his approach to leasing them out and taking a royalty, or contracting with miners. His mines may have produced over $1 million in his life - it becomes difficult to estimate, and published figures show between $500,000 and $1m for the Broadway Mine alone. Merk was from Stuttgart, Germany, and apparently was a family friend of Virginia City banker Henry Elling, also from Stuttgart, though 12 years Elling’s senior. Merk met Mary Elizabeth Horton in the early 1850s, possibly in Kansas, where they married and first lived. They had a daughter Ellie and son William (Willie). Along the way they had a large expensive house in Philadelphia, though apparently no business interests there. Ellie was sent away to school in 1869 to St. Mary’s Hall. Elling came to Montana in 1864 and may have convinced Merk to come to the budding new mining camp of Virginia City, or vice versa. Both were in business there and well established by 1866: Merk with a hardware and general merchandise store, and Elling as a banker. The correspondence group has a number of letters from the mid 1850s period, but little from the Civil War years. Merk ran a grocery store In Virginia City with partners A.G. Smith and C.W. Bittman at least as old as 1866. That later expanded to include general merchandise and hardware. Other partners came and went. These stores were tremendously successful, as gold mining in Virginia City boomed. Fred Merk and some partners became involved with, or staked the Broadway mining claim at a place called Twin Bridges. This mine became a major gold producer, and in 1880, Merk granted a lease/option to British mining interests, who formed the Broadway Gold Mining Co. Ltd. At the time, the mine had produced over $500,000 in gold. But the British venture failed, and Merk got the mine back. But along the way, he and partners staked claims on ground adjacent to the Broadway, which included part of the same ore deposit. Several suits ensued, all to the ultimate benefit of Merk. The archive contains a huge amount of detailed correspondence on this important mine over the years. During the 1870s, the Merks appear to have gained ownership to a large expensive house in Philadelphia. In 1876, Merk engaged Philadelphia agent James Page to sell off personal belongings and some properties, and in 1877 an auction was held to sell the household furnishings and everything else. There are two original broadsides advertising this sale, as well as records of the sale itself. Fred Merk appears to have traveled back to Philadelphia in late 1876 to oversee the process, and returned to Montana in the fall of 1877. By the late 1870s, Merk was also managing the Silver Star Mine at Silver Star. It had been discovered in the late 1860s, written up in great detail in Raymond in 1873 , and again in succeeding years. Raymond

Merk and partners brought needed capital to the project, rendering it successful. The archive has much on this mine in great detail. Merk started or invested in and became active in several other mines, including the Watseka Mine at Rochester. All the while he was living in Twin Bridges where the Broadway mine was located. The early 1880s were tumultuous years for Merk. Deals were made, front monies paid, promissory notes were executed to his benefit for mines and mining claims, but none were completed in total fulfillment. The stress was at times overwhelming. Merk kept financial control of his empire, but at a great personal cost. His relationship with Lizzie began to deteriorate markedly, as his hot temper took over conversations and letters. In an emotionally explosive letter to Fred from Lizzie in 1884, Lizzie lets him have it - the kind of letter that usually results in divorce. Yet no direct answer to it was found in the archive in a singular letter - but the overall answer is and was clear - they worked it out. In an interesting side note, Lizzie had a lifelong friendship with US Supreme Court Judge David J. Brewer (1837-1910), and a letter is in the archive on USSC stationery signed by him.Merk remained in very close communication with his wife Lizzie, son ìWillieî, and daughter Ellie. In particular, he wanted his son to get a good education so that he could one day help his father at business. In this regard, the archive traces the life of Willie, who did succeed his father, and became another important force in the Montana business world. In 1875, Merk wrote his son: ìPapa is getting rich and can make us more comfortableÖ I have about $15,000 invested in good securities Ö You’ll soon be big enough to attend to papa’s business.î Lizzie and the two children went to Germany c1876-1881. Many letters were written and retained from this period. Fred had expressed an interest in selling out of his mining ventures by 1882 and getting back into the hardware business. In 1882 Willie worked for a surveyors office in Salisbury, Willie was sent to business school in Chicago 1883, where, he steadfastly wrote his family. From there, he held several positions as he grew in the business world. 1884 worked for another surveyors office, then a hardware store in Belknap. From there on to work with the Montana Central RY in 1886. By the late 1880s, he held a senior position with the USPS in Spokane, then on to working for Staver & Walker, farm equipment sales. He began helping another company sell and lease mining claims. And worked with the Princess Maud MC. By the early 1890s, Fred needed Willie’s help, and Wille took to his father’s business interests like a fish to water. Lizzie was hospitalized in 1895, about the same time Fred started to realize his health was going downhill. In 1896 he wrote Willie that he had written a will giving everything to his wife and Willie and Ellie. In the late 1890s there were internal family arguments about property ownership. Willie went on to do great things. He managed a major mine at Stanley, Idaho that probably out-produced anything his father had done, which was substantial.This is a substantial archive of a major player in Montana mining history well outside the Clark-Daly interests.Lot# 3061 Virginia City, Montana Virginia City Mining Man Fred Merk Correspondence Archive c 1857-1915 Stuart Mackenzie Montana Ephemera CollectionEst. $8000-12500 HWAC# 143187 See photos onlineLot# 3062 Walkerville, Montana Alice G & S MC Corporate Records, c 1884-1911 Large group of corporate records for the Alice Gold And Silver Mining Co. of Walkerville, Montana, 1884-1911, incomplete.

It was the promotional product of John Leahy, whose personal mine promotion records are in another lot in this sale, and include promotional plans and activities of and for the Alice. The Alice was first organized in 1880 in Utah, later reincorporating in Montana. It was in regular production from 1880 through 1893, then sporadically after that through 1906, when control went to the Butte Coalition Mines Co. In 1910 Anaconda bought out the mine and it became part of the Anaconda mega-mine-opolis. By 1920 the main shaft was 1500 feet deep. Dividends were large, over $1.5 million through about 1910. Many of the records below are during the Leahy period through 1893, when mining stopped briefly. Much of the rest is over the c late 1890’s through the Anaconda takeover, reflecting uncertain production.1. Two Letterpress books marked “Smelter.” 1898-1900, 700pp each.

Baruch/NYC congratulating Mr. Nover for an article he wrote titled “Soviet Atomic Inspection Agreement Held not Enough.” Dated November 16, 1949. Rare. Placed under “Goldfield, Nevada” because Baruch was the key financier behind George Wingfield and the Goldfield Consolidated Mines, which built a huge mill at Goldfield in 1909 that reaped great profits for Baruch and Wingfield. Note: Bernard Baruch (1870 - 1965) became one of the country’s wealthiest and most influential men of the early-mid 20th century, advising Presidents from Woodrow Wilson to Harry Truman. From his Wall Street office in the early 1900s he helped finance the Goldfield Consolidated Mining Company, the Getchell Mine and many other Nevada mining enterprises. Baruch had a quiet and private office in a building at Red Mountain, California (near Randsburg) still there today. He may have been a private financier for the Yellow Aster or the tungsten mines at Red Mountain. We have had very few documents signed by Baruch.

F. Johnson brown-tinted panoramic photograph of Rawhide dated January 1908, many tears but still in one piece. Note: The mining boomtown of Rawhide, NV was located some 55 miles southeast of Fallon and some 35 miles northeast of W. Mackay, Senator George Hearst, Senator John P. Jones, Adolph Hawthorne. Gold and silver were discovered there in 1906. However, Sutro, Senator William M. Stewart, and others. It also has overviews the encampment’s explosion to a population which reached 7,000 in 1908 was more attributable to greed and exploitation rather than the business advertisements are also included in this journal. 12 x 9.5, actual amount of ore that was eventually extracted. Actor Nat Goodwin good condition, covers are detached. proved the perfect front man for flashy con-artist and stock swindler George Graham Rice who came from Goldfield to promote the riches of Rawhide and who was eventually arrested for mail fraud. Goodwin became the face of the Rawhide mines which never came near to approaching the output of the Comstock Lode mines or any other Nevada mines of that era. Rawhide’s hey-day was short-lived; by 1910 only 500 remained as miners/speculators moved on to the “next big thing.” The post office closed in 1941 while the last remaining resident left town by 1967. Fast-forward to the late 1980s when the Rawhide-Denton open pit mine completely overran the original settlement. Those operations ceased in 2003, the mining site was re-permitted as a landfill, and today, nothing there remains of famous/infamous Rawhide.

141View complete catalog, Register, and Bid online at FHWAC.comDAY 3 Sat, Feb 26 MiningLot# 3086 San Francisco, California 1864Territorial Telegraph Mentioning George Hearst & the Comstock California State Telegraph Co. telegraph sent Jan. 6, 1864 from San Francisco to Robert Morrow, mining superintendent on the Comstock Lode. Message simply reads: “Cannot do anything with Hearst.” Folds. Sent by Lent, which is certainly William Lent, one of Hearst’s mining partners. Comstock documents related to George Hearst are incredibly rare. At the time of this telegraph (during Nevada Territory), Morrow was the superintendent of the Savage Mine (according to the Collins Comstock Directory). Was he hoping Hearst would become involved with this famous mine? According to the History of the San Francisco Stock Exchange, Morrow was the first superintendent for the Savage and came to Virginia City at the beginning in 1859 when the Savage was involved in litigation. “He conducted it safely through all its troubles, litigation and early developments. He found its first body of good ore about the 200 or 300 foot level by drifting in through the Gould & Curry.” Morrow also brought William M. Stewart to Virginia City, so beginning Stewart’s long career fighting legal battles on the Comstock. Morrow got a board seat on the SF Stock Exchange in 1875. He was closely associated with the Bank of California and the “Bank Crowd,” working extensively with William Sharon until Sharon’s death. George Hearst also came to the Comstock in 1859. He agreed to pay $3,000 to Patrick McLaughlin for his one-sixth share of the Ophir Mine, an investment that began Hearst’s mining empire. William Lent worked with Hearst starting in those early days, operating from San Francisco and also being one of the first incorporators for the Ophir. He is described in Goodwin’s “As I Remember Them” as being close to many of the mines and superintendents on the Comstock. Lent also was involved in mining at Bodie (investing in the Standard Mine in 1876). The Lent Shaft in Bodie bears his name.
