Dated October 11th 1871, No. 83 for $240. A Scott #RN-C21 2c orange (Washington) internal revenue stamp printed on (black on) white paper. Y cut cancellation. Very Fine Wells Fargo & Co. was one of the first two assay offices at Lewiston (1863) (along with R. Hurley and Company). Assayers and express agents called themselves "bankers" in the early days. Wells Fargo & Co. opened a regular banking office in Silver City in 1869. The Owyhee Mining Company (previously the New York Gold and Silver Mining Company) owned some of the richest Gold and Silver mines in Idaho including the Poorman Mine (formerly the Hays & Ray Mine). Silver City is a ghost town in Owyhee County, Idaho, United States. At its height in the 1880s it was a gold and silver mining town with a population of around 2,500 and approximately 75 businesses. Silver City served as county seat of Owyhee County from 1867 to 1934. Today, the town has about 70 standing buildings. Additional information included.
