Unused but very rare. Dateline Gold Hill, N.T., 186-. 4.5 x 7.75" Folds. Printed by Towne & Bacon, San Francisco. Palmer and Day were first California Assayers. The pair began in Folsom in 1860 where Palmer established an assay office and Wells Fargo Express office. In 1862, the pair expanded their business by opening an office in Gold Hill, Nevada Territory. The Gold Hill office did not last long and was sold less than a year later. Charles Theodore Hart Palmer established the first school in Sacramento in 1849. In 1860 he made preparations for the Carson Valley Expedition that went to defend the honor of those lost in the Indian massacre near Pyramid Lake. Roger Sherman Day was the son of Sherman Day, who was a prominent 49er and mining man. Sherman Day was an engineer at New Alamaden Mines and Folsom, among other places. In 1855 he wrote a treatise on the wagon roads that crossed California. In all likelihood, Sherman Day was C.T.H. Palmer’s real business partner, and Palmer hired his son through family loyalty to assist him learning the business trade. (Potter Collection) Date: Location: Gold Hill, Nevada HWAC# 59153
