Was this mining company named for Nevada's Territorial Indian agent? Number 134 for 15 shares to Henry S Brooks. Datelined San Francisco 1863. Signed by secretary James Herrick and president George F Sharp. Incorporated on May 25, 1863. Native American vignette. Towne & Bacon printers. 25c Entry of Goods Revenue Stamp. Not cancelled. Edge issue with rips and tears. Red blob center. Mining company includes 600 feet on Wash. Jacobs Ledge, Sho Keep Ledge, Bill Marley Ledge and Fred Cook Ledge. These ledges will answer our question. George Washington Jacobs was appointed territorial Indian agent for the Reese River area. During this time the Native Americans in the area were preying on the overland mail coach and small wagon trains. Jacobs (as in Jacobsville) was the Indian agent and owned the overland stop for wagon trains and the overland mail. Bill Marley was the western agent for the overland mail and had a vested interest in these problems. Sho Keep is most likely Sho Kup. He was an Indian chief at this time and seemed to be very warlike trying to hold on to his ancestral home. Each person is directly connected to Warren Wasson! Long biography on Wasson and his importance to Nevada. Notes on Jacobs and Sho Kup and the Indian problems here.
