# 23 for 25 shares to Rich Ross, Signed by William Rice and president F Tilford. Location: Blue Sulphur Spring District, Lyon Co., N.T. Datelined Virginia, N.T. Uncancelled. Incorporated January 5, 1864. Revenue stamp attached at left. Printed by Commercial Print, Virginia. Blue Sulphur Spring District was another name for the Silver City Mining District. By 1868, this area was one of only a few districts in Lyon County that continued to maintain an organization but active mining had not been carried on for the past three years (Browne, pg. 328, 1868). Ross was a Comstock attorney and ran the International Hotel. Tilford was anti Civil War. In the eyes of many that made him as much a traitor as the southern secessionist states. Short biography included. In 1861 Ross purchased 160 acres of timber land in Washoe Valley. Description of the Blue Sulpher Springs district from the Gold Hill Daily News. Scarce.
