Location: Desert District, Churchill County, N.T. (printed under logo). Very low certificate No. 3. Incorporated January 12th, 1864. Dateline Virginia, N.T. Issued for 25 shares to J.V.B. Perry on January 29th, 1864. Perry was a U.S. Marshall and constable in Virginia City and later owned a saloon in Eureka (1864 Collins, 1884 Polk). Signed by president C.P. Johnson and secretary W.W. Coryell. Johnson was the city engineer and surveyor in Virginia City. Coryell is listed a mining secretary living at 45 C Street. Vignette of an eagle with its wings spread on top of an American flag. Black border on creme paper. Commercial Print, Virginia. 25 cent IR stamp attached sideways at top right. Folds, light wear. The Desert District was also known as the White Plains District. A 5 stamp mill was built there about 1863, but was unsuccessful, perhaps because of the isolation and lack of water. Most of the White Plains companies were financed by the East Coast. The Virginia Mine was not listed by Stretch. Date: Location: Churchill County, Nevada HWAC# 60604
