Signed by president RH Rose and treasurer Putnam Catlin. Not cancelled. 4 x 6.25” Inc. in 1807. The road ran from Milford, PA to Owego, NY via Wilsonville, Palmyra, Dyberry, Canaan, Rix’s Gap, and Montrose. According to Wayne County history, “There were eight toll gates on the Milford-Owego Turnpike. Gatekeepers received a 10% commission. The gate near Waymart was one of the most profitable, collecting around $1,000 in 1830. Stage travel on the turnpikes reached its zenith about 1836. Canals and railroads carried freight and passengers at a fraction of the cost and led to a drop in use of the turnpikes after that. They later became part of the public highway system.” Putnam was a country lawyer in Pennsylvania and Revolutionary War veteran. Putnam was extremely knowledgeable in philosophy, European art, and the classics. Ken Prag CollectionEst. $500-1000 HWAC# 156007

It followed the path of the King’s Highway, which had been surveyed in 1770 by Francis Yarnall. Running from Reading to Sunbury, it was 75 miles (121 km) long, was started in 1808, and was completed around 1814 at a cost of US$208,000. The final toll was collected near Bear Gap in Ralpho Township in 1885. The general path of the original turnpike is now covered partly by Pennsylvania Route 61 and Pennsylvania Route 54. It was maintained and controlled by the Centre Turnpike Road Company, which was formed on March 25, 1805” from Wikipedia.

82Aug 2022DAY 2 Fri, Aug 26 Stocks & Bonds / MiningLot# 2348 Nevada 1907, 1910 Four c1907 Nevada Mining Scam Stock Certificates 1) National Defiance. 1907. # 330, Membership #3. Signed by secretary van Duzer. He was a member of the United States House of Representatives at this time. He used his position of power to push this stick. Stock was sold for a mine that did not exist. 2) Nevada Commonwealth M&M. 1906. Willow Creek in Washoe County. The company seemed to constantly push the truth: like their property was worth $7,000,000 (or $200,000,000 today). Two months after the company was incorporated it was being investigated for fraud. #120 for 400 shares to William A Dieffenbach on April 18, 1906. Signed by W. F. Miller secretary and (?) president. 3) National Defiance. 1910. # 1004 for 10,000 shares of “Promotion Stock”. Issued to J.E. Kendall and signed by Kendall as vice-president. Printed by Nevada Press. Kendall leased the first Goldfield mining property and his strike created the rush to Goldfield. The National Defiance Mine had the interest of local newspapers throughout 1910. No wonder someone would want to invest in the rather worthless mine. After all, sometimes hype is better than production. (Includes notes on the companies and people.)
