Uncancelled, no.122, issued to Francis W. Gove, 20 shares, signed by Samuel W. Pingree, President and Emmet Blair, Secretary. November, 1865. First year of Nevada statehood. Churchill County. La Plata. Warren Silver Mining Co. was incorporated in New York. Vignette of a miners working a strip mining operation. Vignette at left of a woman with shield. Black border with pink seal. 6.5 x 11.25". Excellent condition. No edge issues, discoloration, pinholes. Very minor corner tears. This was issued during the two years La Plata was the county seat of Churchill County. La Plata never reached a population of more than a couple of hundred. On top of that it was, like most Nevada mining camps, in a remote mountain area. La Plata was given the county seat, because the current county seat was Buckland Station. That's right a wagon station in an area with a few ranches - and, oh yes, Fort Churchill - was the first county seat. In 1867 the county seat was moved to Stillwater, a small town with a lot of ranches. The ore was surface, ran out quickly, and by 1867 there was little population left and no real mining!
