Printed by John Alexander, Philadelphia.Folds, some toning. The Old Dominion was located in the Hot Creek District and the most active of the early producing mines there. In 1869, they received more than $11,000 from just 111 tons of ore! Hot Creek was organized in 1866. Unlike many Nevada mining camps, it actually had abundant wood, water and grass. The name came from a few hot springs that warmed the creeks. The mine appears to have gone dormant after 1870 when the near surface ores were exhausted. [Ref: Stretch, Raymond] Additional information on the mine and mining district is included. Also Nevada historical backgrounds on the names on the certificate are included.
