Lot of 17. This group has a nice coverage of the various mills being used by the Comstock mines in the 1860s. Clearly, the Gould & Curry was testing these mills to see a) if they were cheating them and b) how efficient they were at precious metal extraction. 1) Three different territorial receipts, March-August 1864. For the Santiago and Gould & Curry mills. 2) 1865 receipt for ores worked at Dalls Mill. 3) 1866 form with three receipts attached to a sheet of two receipts. All for ore assayed by the Gould & Curry for the Savage Mining Company. Assays done at the Mariposa Mill, Dalls Mill, Savage Mill, and Pacific Mill. 4) 12 receipts for Savage MC ore assayed by the Gould & Curry, 1866-67. Includes numerous mills: Atchison, Woodworth, Mariposa, Island, Savage, Empire State, and Manhattan. Great group that offers a peak at the assaying and smelting of this important Comstock mine during the 1860s.
