lyon-co-1880-mh.jpgFAMOUS WILD WEST MINING TOWN NEAR THE GOLD AND SILVER FINDS

Lyon County Times, Silver City, Nevada
Wednesday, June 23, 1880

The only issue of this date reportedly in existence. Silver City was a town that sprung up during the Comstock Load find, and was located near the head of the Gold Canyon gold veins. The front page has a large advertisement offering “MILL & MINING EQUIPMENT FOR SALE,” while page four contains a notice for “THE OLD RELIABLE PIONEER (stagecoach) LINE carrying Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Express and the United States Mails. Established Since the Discovery of the Comstock.”

Four pages, on sturdy transitional paper, and in excellent condition throughout. This Early Western newspaper truly takes you back in time, and provides a true flavor of the Wild West. It’s a real bargain, too!
