McNutt and George W. Howard, two of San Juan County’s pioneers, were the driving force behind the Eureka Mining District. They formalized the district in 1873 and, while the original boundaries are unclear, they designated the region north of the Animas River, east of Cunningham Gulch, and west of the Continental Divide. The boundaries became defined in 1874 or 1875 when prospectors created the Mineral Creek district to the west, and the Mineral Point district to the north. Ultimately, the Eureka district assumed a complex shape. Silverton lay at the southwest corner, and from here, the west boundary passed northwest through the series of peaks that culminated as the Red Mountains.

The district ended any real importance in February of 1864 when the Bullion mine “gave a final test by sending a few tons of rocks to be crushed, which did not pay over one-half the expense of hauling.

Jay Gould (1836-1892) is known as one of the “robber barons” of the Gilded Age. His career in railroad and stock speculation began in 1859. Gould & Fisk were also implicit in what is known as Black Friday (1869). Their plan was to buy enough gold to drive the price of gold way up, then forcing wheat farmers to sell their supply which would provide increased freight service for Gould’s Eastern railroads. Gould even used President Ulysses S. Grant’s brother-in-law, Abel Corbin, to try and influence Grant and his cabinet. When the premium over face value on a gold Double Eagle fell from 62 percent to 35 percent, it caused a panic in the financial markets (Black Friday). While Gould & Fisk made a small amount of money from the deal, Gould eventually lost it with lawsuits and the scandal tarnished his image with the public. After leaving the Erie Railway, Gould turned his eye toward Western railways. He took control of Union Pacific in 1873, and was also involved in the Missouri Pacific Railroad and Western Union, greatly increasing his wealth. He died in 1892 from tuberculosis.

This company was the successor to the Silverton & Ophir Tollroad Company, which was formed to connect Silverton and Ophir and completed construction of a road in October 1881. “Its completion will bring to our city the vast mineral production of the Upper San Miguel and Howard Fork districts, and will settle beyond all doubt the question of the metropolis of San Juan and Southern Colorado...” [Dolores News, June 18, 1881]. There was also an earlier company known as the Silverton, Ophir & Rico Toll-Road Company, which was incorporated in 1879. A road over Ophir Pass was first proposed in 1878. In the spring on 1885, the county called on the Silverton, Ophir & San Miguel Toll-Road Company to make repairs to the road or the county would do it and bill them for the costs. If the company failed to pay back the county, the county would take possession and it would become a public road. On July 6, 1885, the county took over the toll road and made the repairs. Soon after, Otto Mears was given a contract to maintain the road and collect tolls.

The feud became famous because of the participation of William H. Bonney (“Billy the Kid”). Other notable participants included Sheriff William J. Brady, cattle rancher John Chisum, lawyer and businessman Alexander McSween, James Dolan and Lawrence Murphy. The conflict began between two factions competing for profits from dry goods and cattle interests in the county. The older, established faction was dominated by James Dolan, who operated a dry goods monopoly through a general store referred to locally as “The House”. English-born John Tunstall and his business partner Alexander McSween opened a competing store in 1876, with backing from established cattleman John Chisum. The two sides gathered lawmen, businessmen, Tunstall’s ranch hands, and criminal gangs to their assistance. The Dolan faction was allied with Lincoln County Sheriff Brady and aided by the Jesse Evans Gang. The Tunstall-McSween faction organized their own posse of armed men, known as the Lincoln County Regulators, and had their own lawmen consisting of town constable Richard M. Brewer and Deputy US Marshal Robert A. Widenmann.Read more in our online catalog.

The following year, Poe moved to Fort Elliott, Texas where he worked as a deputy sheriff and continued his duties as a U.S. Deputy Marshal. In 1881, Poe went to work for the Canadian River Cattle Association to help stop the rampant rustling activities taking place primarily at the hands of Billy the Kid and his gang of Rustlers. In March, he traveled to White Oaks, New Mexico, where he met with Lincoln County Sheriff, Pat Garrett and accepted an appointment as a deputy sheriff, while still holding his position for the stock association. Just a short time after Poe had taken the position, Billy the Kid escaped from jail and when Poe received a tip that the “Kid” was hiding out in Fort Sumner, he urged Garrett to investigate. Soon, Poe, Garrett and another deputy named Thomas McKinney set out for Fort Sumner. Poe had been told that Billy was hiding out at the home of a woman named Duvelina, an Indian slave and former sweetheart. However, they didn’t find him there and the trio soon called on Peter Maxwell, whose ranch headquarters occupied the former United States Army post.

The five kids were orphaned out but all kept touch over the years.

The family named the new community “Pageville”, after their youngest sibling who brought them all together. The Pageville Post office was open 1892-1913. J.M. Page continued a very active career. He relocated to Helena in the mid 1890s while Surveyor General, then to Virginia City where he continued his surveying career, also investing in real estate and mining ventures.

H. S.), Questionable Attribution This token was identified by an unknown person and sold to our client as “Colorado Reserve”. However, according to Spooner, Salt was listed at “Colorado Reserve” between 1871 and 1876. Our research shows something quite different. First, the name is fairly unique. There was only one “John H. Salt” found associated with anything in Arizona, and that was John H. Salt, born 1849 in England, was a Private in the US Infantry in 1870 at La Paz, Yuma County. The next year he was the post master at Parker, Arizona, where he maintained that position through at least 1873. There is a big lapse of information on this specific man Salt until 1900, when he is in Poughkeepsie, New York working as a Shoer in his old age. He is not in the 1880 Census, and the 1890 Census burned. The style of this token is very clearly post-1900. We suggest it is not an Arizona token, but further research might tell us a lot more.
