Lot of 3. 1) Best is Sierra Nevada Wood & Lumber Co. check. RN-G1. Issued in Virginia City, 1881 to A.M. Kirscher for $87.75. Signed by J.B. Overton as superintendent. The Sierra Nevada Wood & Lumber Co. was formed in 1878 by Hobart and Marlette on the east shore of Lake Tahoe. The company owned almost ten thousand acres of timber along the eastern shore of Lake Tahoe along with a mill at Incline. The project was overseen by J. B. Overton, who also served as Superintendent for the Virginia & Gold Hill Water Co. Lumber was transported using steamers, a railroad at Incline, flumes, and then the Virginia & Truckee Railroad in Carson. The decline of mining on the Comstock corresponded to a decreased demand for lumber. In 1894 the company sold the dam at Marlette lake to the Carson & Tahoe Lumber Company. The mill and railroad were disassembled and moved five miles north of Truckee alongside Prosser Creek at the site of the new town of Hobart Mills (Overton). 2) Carson City Savings Bank Duplicate of Exchange (Gold), unissued, 1870s and Bullion & Exchange Bank, issued 1900. .
