Date Oct. 23 from San Francisco. Advertising on left reads Knickerbocker & Nevada Silver Mining Company, Ione City, Nye Co., Nevada. Three cent entire with an additional three cent stamp. This would be a nice companion piece to the actual stock certificate. The Knickerbocker & Nevada Mining Company came to life in 1865. On March 20th a meeting was held in New York to discuss offering stock options. The meeting describes the Knickerbocker as actually three mines: Phoenix, Olive, and Lockwood. The notice goes on to say that by June of 1865 the president will be out in Nevada with machinery. A second meeting was held on August 1, 1865. And, my how promising things were. The reality not so much!
