Bank of California, RN-B17c. Virginia, Dec. 17, 1869. Issued to Parke & Douglass for $6,324.35. Signed by Issac Requa as superintendent. Cut cancel. Holabird previously sold an 1869 agreement between the Gould & Curry and Parke & Douglass where the latter was purchasing tailings from the former. This check has the payment going the other way, which makes sense if Parke & Douglass were also processing tailings for G&C. Ira S. Parke operated many mills in Sixmile Canyon during the 1860s. Along with his partner Bowie, he purchased the Gould & Curry Mill in 1871. The Douglas Mill was located 1/2 mile below Gold Hill. This check (and the previous agreement) indicate that the two had some sort of partnership with the Gould & Curry that is not reflected in directory listings.
