Extremely early 1861 Comstock check from Wells Fargo / Gould & Curry Mining Company. Issued for "Charity--Emigrants." Signed by mine supt. Charles Strong. Clearly this is for a fundraiser for a group down on their luck. We have not located the story as of this publishing of this catalog, but surely there is one!
