An early publication of the San Francisco Stock and Exchange Board. Datelined San Francisco Saturday Evening Jan. 30th 1864. This rare four page circular is printed on light blue stock. The first page was authored by Robert C. Page of R. C. Page & Co., a stockbroker and one of the charter members of the Exchange with offices at 709 Montgomery Street. It covers a brief summary of the financial markets followed a more detailed review of activity in specific Mining Stocks along with news from the significant mines.

Much activity is reflected for the Real del Monte, and the Comstock mines: Lady Bryan, Burning Moscow, North Potosi, and Chollar. The third page has a section entitled "Fluctuations in Leading Mining Shares for the past six months" and lists 30 mining stocks and their prices. Two other sections status bonds and other non-mining stocks.
