Ephemera: 1904 - 2 Letters from/to A. D. Myers the "Father of Goldfield," Nevada

Item Specifics

Year of Issue

1902

Item Description

Both letters are approximately 8.5" x 11"

Both letters, one from and one to, are concerned with mining leases. One letter is signed by Myers. Myers was a prospector who had staked some of the earliest and richest claims in the region and named the region. After a district organization was created, he became its chief executive. One of the gold veins he discovered was so rich that his stock quickly jumped in price from just 12 cents/share to over $80/share. It's said that his mines produced three to four million dollars worth of ore. He allegedly once beat up Death Valley Scotty. Additional information about Myers will be provided.

In nice shape. E1119
