Unused, 186-. Nevada Territorial. I could find no references to Millville in the library, online, or the State Historical Society. This unused check had to be near Austin and a place where milling was happening. It is on Paxton, Thornburgh & Company receipt. They were the major bankers in Austin at this time. The receipt is for logs made out to John Parrot. He was also an Austin Banker. But where was Millville? Thanks to the Nevada Historical Society online they have some Austin newspapers. Millville did pop up relating to the upcoming 1868 election. They had one delegate. But where was Millville? That article didn’t tell me where it was. But an 1868 article brought a new revelation. The one delegate from this area (I guess it wasn’t as abandoned as the first article hinted at) would come from Millville with ‘Big Creek’ in parenthesis. Now, Big Creek I could find! That lead me right to Canon City. Shawn Hall's book that mentions 7 names for Canon City. But he did not even mention this one! Even though it was so important in the 1860’s it was the one being used by the local newspaper. More background notes and copies of Reese River Reveille articles are included.
