Mr. Blackburn was killed by a Mr. Mayfield on November 18, 1861. On November 28, 1861 the Territorial Legislature offered a reward of $1,000 for the arrest of Mayfield.

Document is signed by Territorial Governor James W Nye, Territorial Treasurer John H Kinkead (Nevada's third Governor and Alaska's first) and Territorial Auditor P Child.
