The Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad (reporting mark SLR) was a rail company that completed and operated a railway line between its namesake cities, via Las Vegas, Nevada. Incorporated in Utah in 1901 as the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad, the line was largely the brainchild of William Andrews Clark, a Montana mining baron and United States Senator. Clark enlisted the help of Utah’s U.S. Senator Thomas Kearns, mining magnate and newspaper man, to ensure the success of the line through Utah. Construction of the railroad’s main line was completed in 1905. Company shareholders adopted the LA&SL name in 1916. The railway was also known by its official nickname, “The Salt Lake Route”, and was sometimes informally referred to as “The Clark Road”. The tracks are still in use by the modern Union Pacific Railroad, as the Caliente, Sharp, and Lynndyl Subdivisions (wiki). VF. Est. $180-350 HWAC# 129567

Some limited work began again, though it stopped in 1874 after little additional progress had been made. There was another cave in near Oak Street hampering efforts to continue the project. The company became dormant again, and sale to other interested parties was hampered by an excessive asking price for the property. Fremont is legendary in the West!

Number 92024 for 1,000 pounds in 1964. Pain with title in a black box. The American Tobacco Company (ATC) set aside a massive 30 million dollars to buy up British tobacco companies one by one at the start of the 20th century. The key figure was James Buchanan Duke, head of ATC, whose aggressive methods had created a virtual monopoly for the company in the US. Individually, British companies, even those of the size of WD & HO Wills and John Player & Sons, could not survive. When Duke arrived in Liverpool in 1901, he walked into Ogden’s factory and bought on the spot. Duke then approached other British companies and is reported to have burst in on the Player brothers, saying: “Hello, boys.

And then, he committed the largest fraud in U.S. history. His clients at one point were down nearly $65 Billion before some of it was ultimately recovered years later. It was basically a Ponzi scheme. Get new money in and spend it on yourself. When too many ask for their money back at the same time, there is no money. This is a trade confirmation for the purchase of 625 Chrysler shares for $21,278. It turns out that nearly every trade that Madoff Securities made never actually occurred. As a market maker, they could print the trade on the tape, even if it was a fake trade. The name and the address of the investor is blacked out to protect their identity. Madoff was arrested in December 2008, eleven years after this trade confirmation. Est. $70-150 HWAC# 135436

The second broadside is from the Lake County Silver Club discussing the group’s purpose, “To Use every Legitimate Means to Secure the Free Coinage of Silver”. That dates this piece to the 1893-1896 timeframe as the “free silver” debate peaked around that time. “Silverites” wanted an expansionary monetary policy featuring the unlimited coinage of silver into money on demand, as opposed to strict adherence to the more carefully fixed money supply implicit in the gold standard.

Yeates Two sided. 8 x 5.5” Horizontal fold, two pinholes, slight bend on bottom right corner. Overall in nice condition. Taken from the “State Geologist’s’ Report of the Gold Deposits of Georgia” by Yeates. In 1830, gold was discovered at Pine Mountain, near the future site of Villa Rica. Later the vein of gold was found to extend from the northeastern corner of the county to the southeastern corner. Some gold deposits were found near Carrollton on Oak Mountain, but the most important were discovered on the large plantation owned by Zadok Bonner, about eight miles southwest of Carrollton. The Bonner mines began operation about 1840, and more than a half million dollars in gold was removed before 1860, leaving the “Big Cut,” 350 feet long and 20 feet deep, near the Bonner residence. The placer method was used to sift the dirt for traces of gold. Zaddock Bonner, Jr., was one of the wealthiest men men in Georgia before 1860. He discovered what became known as the “Bonner Bonanza” when he hit gold in Carroll County, Georgia. He was known to have been worth over three quarters of a million dollars before the “Civil War”. Gold from his mine was used on the dome of the Georgia State Capitol.

Each record includes the shipper (individuals and mining companies), wet pounds, assays, processing and other costs, freight charges, and mine royalties. Beautiful for the handwritten figures made in ink with no erasures. 2) KCC ledger book, spine labeled CUSTOM LOTS (4) May 26, 1939 to May 3, 1940, and CUSTOM LOTS (5) May 2, 1940 to February 19, 1941. Records the origin of custom ore lots received from various small miners including the Date of Receipt, Assay Date, Au, Ag, SiO2, Fe, CaO, Al2O3, S, and H20 values for that ore. These ledgers are a great chronicle of small mine production in Nevada and the Western US. 3) KCC ledger recording Molybdenum Plant Production at the McGill facility from Sep 20, 1940 to July 31, 1945. This provides a glimpse into the molybdenum supply during WWII when the US was using moly instead of tungsten in steel production. 4) Two, three-ring notebooks: Kennecott Minerals Company 1980-1984 Operating Plan and the 1981-1985 Operating Plan. Each includes sections on financial, operational, and environmental issues. 5) Two 1944 contracts between KCC and Consolidated Coppermines Corporation regarding the ability of both companies to adequately mine their respective, separate holdings in the open-pit copper mine adjacent to Ruth, Nevada. These specifically relate to the Liberty Pit and the Veteran Pit.

Here, the Central is singled out with a very low gold (.016) and silver (.802) amount. A more normal range would have been gold (.025 to .028) and silver (.965 to .969).

This is a remarkable and previously unpublished map showing the relative locations of the following lodes from waht may be the very beginning of the discovery period in 1863: (from south to north) Brown & Butler; Penobscot; Naiad Queen; Burra Burra; Espinasena; North River; Sterling Co.; Achilles; and a few more. The mills of the Boston Co. and the Oregon Co are shown, along with the Overland Trail at the left edge of the map, north of all else shown. The ore house for the Naiad Queen is also shown. A pencil note was added later on the Oregon Mill, “now Manhattan Co.”. This may possibly be the very first map drawn of the “ore” veins in this scetion of the Reese River District, as most or all of these were given other names very soon. Interestingly, no portion of this map is identified on the Lander Hill (Reese River) map of Raymond in Mineral Resources West of the Rocky Mountains, 1869, opposite p78. Further, no mention is made in that chapter of Central and Union hills, even though the Oregon Co.’s mill appears to show on the 2 maps. The district was discoverred in December 1862, and a mini-rush ensued in 1863. But thin veins, coupled with the remote location and lack of infrastructure caused a slow-down in production (only $16,000 in 1863!), such that most of 1864 and the start of 1865 were mostly idle, according to Abbe in Austin and the Reese River Mining District, 1985. The Civil War also had its pull. This map was drawn as the district started to come back to life after the Civil War. The Oregon Mill was built in ept. 1863, one of the first handfull of mills built between August and September. In MArch, 1864, and one of the most successful of the first mining companies. That company built a roasting furnace as part of the Mill complex, shown by the multiple buildings on this map.

Made by sculptor and painter Julius T. Gutzwa of Meridian, Connecticut. Gutzwa (c1891-1956) was a Polish immigrant who came to the US at the age of 15. His artistic talents soon came to the forefront, and he became known as a painter and sculptor. His most famous work was a large bronze statue of Polish General and Patriot Pulaski, completed in 1934. His murals are found in Hartford, Meridian and elsewhere in Ct. In 1933, Gutzwa was commissioned to paint a number of present and historical world figures, including Woodrow Wilson and George Washington. Even though Gutzwa was an exceptionally successful and well paid artist, his name does not appear among the many standard art reference works. Noted medallic historian Dick Johnson. long time curator of the Medallic Arts Co., noted one known Lindburg (note 2 different spellings) bronze plaque, which does not appear to be this piece. Johnson assigned a construction date of 1932, though we found no records on the web. Thus at present, there are two of these magnificent plaques known. 9 7/8” octagonal, two holes in upper panel for suspension. A third hole was considered and partially drilled at top center.
