	2238 NV - Austin,Lander County - 1865 - Silver Ores - Austin, Nevada Start Price: 500.00High Bid: 850.00Estimate: 1,000.00 - 3,000.00 Lot of 49 silver ore samples from Austin, Nevada, one of the most prolific silver mining boom towns within the state. Many samples were collected from the historic Amador Mine, the Lost Mine and other locations within the Reese River Mining district, with many dating from the early 1860's. Initial ore mined consisted of chlorargyrite (also known as cerargyrite) as silver was easy to extract from oxide ores. Examples of this material are within this suite. Due to the difficulties encountered in silver extraction with the deeper sulfide ores, only high grade material was mined later in the district. High grade samples within this lot are between 1 and 4 inches in diameter and include the ruby silvers pyrargyrite and proustite, many showing the radiate reds of their namesake. Samples also include examples of argentite-acanthite, polybasite, friebergite (silver bearing tetrahedrite-tennantite), and accessory galena, pyrite, and chalcopyrite. Given the grade and diversity of silver bearing minerals within this collection, especially the presence of oxide ores (these were mined first and not typically preserved) and documentation of samples from the earliest mining within the Reese River District, this collection should appeal both to the mineralogist and especially those interested in historical mining memorbillia. While there are 49 silver ore samples only a representative portion of the lot was photographed. Not all of the pieces in the lot were photographed.

" The last paragraph relates that Ferguson is going to leave for Forest Hill to "complete the deal for the Eureka to work through their ground." Interesting window into the world of prospecting. Excellent condition.

	3030 NV - Carson City,Carson City Mint Bullion Punch Start Price: 5,000.00High Bid: 10,000.00Estimate: 10,000.00 - 20,000.00 This unique and wonderful piece was spotted by Carson City Mint Press Operator, Ken Hopple and brought to us from a Reno collection. It is a remarkable discovery and a testament to the thousands of people who collect rusty artifacts in the West over the last half century. This oval bullion punch measures about 1.5" X 1" wide. What's left of the stem extends about an inch from the back of the bullion punch. The stem of the punch would have extended approximately 6-9" from the back of the bullion punch so that it could be hand held while extending a blow from a single jack. The piece was "decommissioned" (destroyed) by breaking or destroying the handle, such that there is no way that this punch could be used again. Further, there is evidence of a minor form of cancellation via a small diagonal punch through the letters "t" and "a" of "States". Otherwise the punch is in remarkable condition. The corrosion to the letters and the exterior of the punch is roughly typical and the same that we have witnessed from Carson City Mint dies that were discarded in the dump and dug up in the 1960s. The style of punch is exactly the same as seen on some other U.S. Mint items. The tooling, letters and overall construction are absolutely 19th Century. To date no original Carson City Mint bullion bars have been located. In fact, very few 19th Century U.S. Mint ingots exist today, rendering this piece priceless.

	3079 NY - New York,1885-1898 - Judge/Puck Magazines’ Illustrations on Money Start Price: 50.00Estimate: 100.00 - 200.00 Group of 3. 1. Judge, Volume 8, No. 196, 18 July 1885, New York edition. Drawn by F. B. This cartoon is a commentary on the growing Populist politics silver issue. The illustration shows closed factories and people loitering because they are out of work, and Uncle Sam is carrying a monstrous bag of silver on his back. A story on the reverse suggests Uncle Sam should just unload all the silver the treasury has as it is a burden. It suggests the U. S. Treasury is hampering business development and workers’ morale by not distributing silver. The writer suggests the U. S. is criminal in its actions. Measures 10.50” by 14.” In Excellent condition. Great colors. 2. Puck, Volume XXVI, No. 672, 22 January 1890, New York edition. Drawn by C. J. Taylor. This cartoon cover illustrates something with which modern readers are not familiar. Before 1916, all U. S. Senators were picked by their home state legislatures. This usually meant the person with the largest pocketbook went to Washington D. C. because he (there were no female senators at the time because women did not get to vote until 1920 – but there were voting exceptions in western states – for example Wyoming Territory attracted women settlers by offering voting rights in 1869, while Montana would elect the first woman to the house of Representatives in 1916 – Jeanette Rankin) bought his seat. After 1916, U. S. Senators were subjected to direct vote by the people of their states just like any other politician. Direct voting came about because, as this cartoon illustrates so well, buying a Senator-ship did not necessarily represent the people of the state, but the interests of the wealthy in any state. The illustration is aptly titled “The Way We Become Senator Nowadays.” Measures 10.50” by 14.” Good condition – one little teeny tiny missing piece on the top right corner. 3. Judge, Volume 35, No. 894, 3 December 1898. Illustrated by Grant Hamilton. This magazine cover can be taken in two ways. Troy, New York or troy ounces. In the case of outgoing Senator Edward Murphy, he lived in Troy and was returning after his one term was over. However, he ended up making a lot of money after his term of office was over by becoming the President of Troy Gas Company and a Vice President of a bank in Troy. Measures 10.50” by 14.” Great condition.
	3080 NY - New York,1889 - Puck Magazine Covers Start Price: 50.00Estimate: 100.00 - 200.00 Lot of 2. 1. Volume XXVI, No. 653, New York edition for 11 September 1889. Drawn by Dalrymple, who was a regular contributor to the magazine. This illustration depicts a Catholic Priest threatening a woman and her children with excommunication if her children do not enroll in parochial school. American Catholics started their own school system in the U. S. in the 1830s because the curriculum developed earlier in the century covertly promoted Protestant values in the public school systems. Catholic children were picked on by Protestant children, so creating the parochial school system was a way the church could protect Catholic children from harm as well as inculcate its belief system into its youth. The cartoon suggests that in 1889 the priests were now the ones who were picking on their own believers if they did not attend parochial school. The caption says in part, “No Freedom for Catholic Parents in a Free Country.” Measures 10.50” by 14.” Yellowing around the edges. One small tear in the upper left top edge. Corners are excellent. 2. Volume XXVI, No. 661, New York edition for 6 November 1889. Drawn by C. J. Taylor, who was a popular freelance illustrator of the era. This cover depicts a man dressed in Muslim garb going into a Mosque. The name on the hat identifies him as D. B. Hill, a presidential hopeful. David Bennett Hill was the 29th governor of New York State. The shoes he discarded on his way in are named “Trickery” and “Peanut Politics.” A great early example how Americans portrayed Muslims. Measures 10.50” by 14.” In very good condition. Both illustrations have write-ups on the back explaining the cartoons.
	3081 NY - New York,1889 - Puck Magazine Temperance Cartoon Illustrations Start Price: 50.00Estimate: 100.00 - 200.00 Lot of 2. 1. Volume XXVI, No. 659, 23 October 1889, New York edition cover drawn by in house illustrator Opper. This busy cover says a lot about liquor and prohibition. The main idea of this cartoon is prohibition does not stop the flow of liquor. Evidently Maine had outlawed liquor but it was not working. Starting in the 1870s in Ohio, women began working towards improving society’s ills by promoting temperance and passing local, state, and national laws to make liquor illegal. Women thought if there was temperance, men would not spend all of their paychecks in a bar - they would actually take care of their families. But since the flow of liquor never stopped with prohibition, society did not really change. And when the 18th Amendment took effect in 1918, it allowed for the growth of gangsters, crime mobs, and speakeasies, which were much more serious detriments to society than just drinking. Measures 10.50” by 14.” The upper right edge is folded and slightly torn. Otherwise it is in good condition. 2. Political cartoon sheet that appeared in the middle of the magazine. No date or year. Drawn by Opper as well. This one is titled, “The Cigarette Epidemic.” The illustration shows how cigarettes were overtaking society. One illustration pictures babies in buggies smoking. It also comments on Chinese Opium and its friendship to cigarettes and alcohol. The gist is if one starts with a cigarette, then one could progress to drinking and then feel the need for more drugs in the form of opium. The characters representing the vices are presented as devil-like. King liquor has a big, red, bulbous nose, which is a common caricature of a drinker. Measures 10.50” by 14.” In very good condition. Both illustrations have writing on the back.
	3082 NY - New York,c1892, 1901 - Puck Magazine World's Fair/Pan American Exposition Illustrations Start Price: 60.00Estimate: 120.00 - 200.00 Lot of 3. 1. Columbia is standing between two representatives of the World’s Fair. The one on the left is a rootin,’ tootin,’ wind-making, dust-devil stirring, lariat whipping, six gun shootin' Wild West cowboy from Chicago. The other is a Ben Franklinesque man in colonial garb, doffing his three point hat, with a N.Y. logo on the front. He has scrolls of papers in his hands, under his arms and stuffed in his pockets. There seems to be a contest between the two cities as to where the fair will end up. Harlem is the site considered in New York. Its land is portrayed as pastoral. Harlem became more urbanized and a New York suburb in the 1880s with the construction of overhead trains. Chicago, on the other hand, in the 1880s is the largest urban area in the Mid-west, and is situated on the edge of the American Frontier. Founded in 1832, the city by the 1880s was rather large. It is the center of the meat packing industry and the hub for American railroads. Drawn by both Opper and Taylor. The World’s Fair was held in 1893 in Chicago. It was pretty impressive, as the architects who made some of the buildings used a new technique of combining steel reinforced concrete to construct the buildings. Also, the fair brought many folks from all over the world. One of those was H. H. Holmes, an early American serial killer who owned a Chicago hotel of horrors from which some women who were traveling single to see the fair did not emerge. Measures 10.50” by 14.” No actual date except on Columbia – 1892. In very good condition. 2. Another Opper cartoon sheet illustration about the World’s Fair and the competition between New York and Chicago. This time, New York is represented by a smiling, long eye-lashed, bull and Chicago is represented by a top-hatted, dressed up frog sitting on a dirt island with cattails all around him. No date or year. Measures 10.50” by 14.” Excellent condition. 3. Volume XLIX, No. 1261, 1 May 1901, New York edition. No illustrator signature. A woman representing “Enlightenment” is breaking open the gates of the Pan American Exposition much to the protest of two American “Sabbatarians” who are trying to hold the gates shut to the Exposition opening on Sundays.

Magazine cover illustrated by Emil Flohri. President Cleveland is partially buried by snow in this illustration. The landscape is mountainous and Cleveland is in unfamiliar territory. The story on the back of the cover talks about Cleveland selling out U. S. free trade interests to British trade interests, thus the bestowment of the title “Tradeior” on the President. Measures 10.50” by 14.” Some foxing in the lower right corner and a small nick on the right side. Good condition. 2. Puck, Volume XXVI, No. 671, New York edition, 15 January 1890 magazine cover. Drawn by Louis Dalrymple. Uncle Sam is waving a tariff reform flag. Apparently, a few characters such as John Wanamaker, President McKinley, Jim Blaine and a Mr. Quay are blockading attempts at free trade ventures and tariff reforms. The government is attempting to break up monopolies during this time, but McKinley’s administration does not do it. When Teddy Roosevelt took over as president in 1901 after McKinley’s assassination, he began the long and arduous task of breaking up the large companies using the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1892. Measures 10.50” by 14.” Excellent condition. 3. Puck, Volume XXX, No. 757, 9 September 1891, New York edition. Magazine cover drawn by F. Opper. This illustration speaks to the rain drought the U. S. plains were experiencing. There are two drummers trying to sell a farmer a rainmaking machine. The west was sold as fertile farmland to many wanting to homestead there. During the latter 1800s the plains experienced both abundant rainfall and times of water drought. What people thought was water drought periods were really normal for the plains areas and the rainfall was abnormal. Farming techniques were not altered for the plains’ environment either, so when the Dust Bowl of the 1930s hit no one should have been surprised, but most were. Measures 10.50” by 14.” There is a small tear on the bottom right edge and a small fold on the right edge, otherwise the cover is in good condition. 4. Puck, Volume XLIX, No. 1255, 27 March 1901, New York edition. The cover was drawn by Joseph Keppler, who also founded Puck. This cover has a kindly looking, huge Abe Lincoln dressed in a red flannel working shirt, denim jeans, and lowered leather suspenders holding an axe in one hand while putting his other hand on the shoulder of a miniscule man dressed up as a U. S. Rear Admiral in special dress uniform. This man is supposed to be J. Pierpont Morgan. In 1901, Morgan had just put together the biggest steel conglomerate in the world. He was at the height of his financial career in the first decade of the 1900s and critics said he controlled most of the U. S.’s finances. Lincoln is advising Morgan, who has businesses and a home in Britain, and who has British ancestry, to be more accepting of the regular American working man. Lincoln says “Don’t you think, Sonny, that your ‘five o’clock tea’ rule might shut out some good men?” Measures 10.50” by 14.” Two spots of foxing otherwise in excellent condition. 5. Judge, Volume 41, No. 1034, 10 August 1901. Drawn by Grant Hamilton. This colorful magazine cover has a J. Pierpont Morgan dressed in an comical rendition of an early 1800s French military uniform with a organ grinder’s monkey’s hat perched sideways on his head and white gloves on his hands that have dollar signs on them. Morgan is defending Fort U. S. Steel, his conglomerate. Charles Michael Schwab’s head is on the cannon’s powder swab. He and Morgan were both steel businessmen. Schwab helped Morgan build his steel conglomerate behind the scenes. The cannon is pointed toward Fort Labor situated across the harbor. Having a monopoly allowed Morgan to keep labor costs down. Measures 10.50” by 14.” In good condition.

Drawn by art editor Grant Hamilton. Portrayal of Ohio Governor and Senator Joseph B. Foraker with the body of an American Bald Eagle rising from the fire of Insults and Snubs. He wears a breast-shield of light blue and pink rests on his chest. The words on it are “Patriotism, Protection, G.A.R.” Foraker was a member of the Union Army during the Civil War. The illustration’s caption: “The Phenix of the West. The Phenix was a bird which rose immaculate from flames and ashes.” The G. A. R. formed in 1866 and limited its membership to former Union soldiers who had been honorably discharged from one of the service branches. It started in Ohio and grew into a national organization with a lot of political clout and money. The G.A. R. was not open to Confederate Soldiers. In 1889 the United Confederate Veterans was founded to help widows, orphans and disabled southern soldiers survive. Measures 10.50 by 14.” Excellent condition. 2. Judge, Volume XXVI, No. 657, 9 October 1889, New York edition. Drawn by Louis Dalrymple. General Russell A. Alger is sitting on top of a tiny President Benjamin Harrison in the presidential chair. Alger could be president if he wanted as the power he has is greater than that of the president- he has the backing of the G. A. R. Measures 10.50 by 14.” Great condition. 3. Puck cartoon illustration drawn by Frederick Opper of James R. Tanner, who was involved with the G. A. R. in New York State. He was also a supporter of Benjamin Harrison.

Puck, Volume XXVI, No. 656, 2 October 1889, New York edition. Drawn by Frederick Opper.

Mr. Beelzebub vs. a Benjamin Franklinesque (Father Knickerbocker) character who is carrying arrest warrants, indictments, and criminal cases in his pockets, under his arms and in his hands. There are billboards everywhere commenting on crime. One newspaper is named the Daily Scare, while another is called the Daily Scandal. The place seems to be a hotbed of evil and Beelzebub is smiling about it. He is very pleased that the malevolence he poisoned the population with on his last visit is “prospering.” Measures 10.50” by 14.” Good condition. 2. Judge, no date or volume. Middle sheet cartoon drawn by Zimmerman. At first glance this cartoon seems incomprehensible but after doing some historical research on Baxter Street in New York City, the information revealed the scene depicted in the cels was called “Jewtown.” (Now it is a part of New York’s Chinatown.) When this cartoon was drawn in the late 1800s, the street was a poor Jewish neighborhood where second hand clothing shop merchants’ sold their wares. The artist seems to be commenting on how he thinks Jews conduct business – in the underground and dishonestly. In researching Zimmerman, it does not seem he, nor the magazine, were anti-Semitic, so it is most likely the message in this cartoon is lost on modern viewers. The famous muckraker and social reformer Jacob Riis took pictures of "Jewtown." Measures 10.50” by 14.” Excellent condition. 3. Puck, no date or volume. Middle sheet cartoon drawn by C. J. Taylor. This illustration puts a rich man’s son in a sailing vessel (looks like a Viking ship) with a silver spoon for a rudder trying to maneuver his way through dangerous waters similar to those Odysseus maneuvered in Greek mythology. The water is full of Wall Street sharks, naked sirens with harps, and clinging optopi. Usually, the sons of rich fathers do not have the same money making acumen of their fathers’, so they have to be especially careful to not lose the family fortune. Measures 10.50” by 14.” A few spots of foxing. Good condition. 4. Puck, Copyright 1900. Middle sheet cartoon. Drawn by L. M. Glackens.

A pastoral scene in which a male teacher has his class of boys and girls on a field trip and one of the little boys brings a hornets' nest back to show his classmates. The teacher is shocked, as is the rest of the class. This cartoon might be a comment on immigration as the 1890s was the first decade to see swarms of immigrants coming to the U.S. from southern European countries. The American government thought Italians and Greeks undesirables. Measures 10.50” by 14.” Some foxing. Good condition. 6. Puck, magazine cover. Volume XLIX, No. 1260, 24 April 1901, New York edition.

Puck, Volume XXVI, No. 658, New York edition, 16 October 1889. Drawn by C. J. Taylor. Uncle Sam is stretching his arm across a concrete embankment to a South American woman. She is dressed in traditional clothing with a white mantilla. The South American landscape in this drawing looks dry with many palm trees. It is odd that the artist would represent South American countries by using a female. At the time of expanding empire, Americans did think of South Americans in terms that South America was more feminine than North America. Measures 10.50” by 14.” Good condition. 2. Judge, Volume 35, No. 885, 1 October 1898. Published in New York. This cover, drawn by Grant Hamilton, pictures a joker one-man-band commenting on the four month long Spanish American War of 1898. Some of the comments are “The Democrats would have managed the war better,” “Cuba is a white elephant,” We don’t want the Philippines,” “what will we do with Porto Rico,” and “the blowhard Roosevelt.” Measures 10.50” by 14.” Very colorful and in good condition. 3. Puck, Volume XLII, No. 1082, 1 December 1897, New York edition. Drawn by C. J. Taylor titled “Another Shotgun Wedding, with Neither Party Willing.” President McKinley, reading from the Bible named Annexation Policy, is dressed as a Protestant minister who is marrying Uncle Sam and a woman who is representing the Hawaiian Islands. Southern Senator John T. Morgan is dressed in his gray Civil War uniform holding a shotgun named “Bluster.” The Hawaiian Islands were instrumental as a coaling station for U. S. Navy ships during the Spanish American War. They officially became an annex of the U. S. in 1898 although they had long been involved with the U. S. before that date. 4. Puck, No volume or number. Colorfully illustrated by Louis Dalrymble. There is a date in the cartoon of 1901. This cartoon illustrates American’s growing adeptness at sailing. The saying goes, “He who rules the sea, rules the world.” In 1901, America’s ships did not rule the sea or world but they were getting better. Britain was still the ruler of the seas, but the British sailor crying in the cartoon is worried Americans will sometime take over. Measures 10.50” by 14.” In excellent condition.
	3088 Candelaria Mine Silver Ingot, San Dimas, Mexico 1885-1900 Start Price: 2,500.00High Bid: 2,500.00Estimate: 5,000.00 - 10,000.00 The history of the mine is an interesting one besides being a long and heart wrenching one. The mine was first located in 1783 by Juan Jose Zambrano, who was a storekeeper. The mine was near San Dimas, a small town “on the Guarisamé River” [Paulsen, 1981, 245]. Zambrano “built three tunnels to facilitate removal of the ore which was in veins one and one-half to three yards wide” [Paulsen, 1981, 245] During his lifetime, Zambrano took silver and gold out of the mine amounting to somewhere between 55 million to about 100 million dollars. At the end of his life in 1807, Zambrano had millions in banks in England and owned a huge amount of property in Durango City. Despite its obvious record of producing wealth, the mine fell into disarray after Zambrano’s death. Mexican politics also changed after the 1810 revolution. Because the mine was inactive, Mexican law concerning abandoned mines left the mine open for non related people to take it over. Brothers Miguel de and Jose Vicente Laveaga became the next owners of the mine but did not operate it at its full potential due to water problems. Mark Brumagim (later to be known as Birmingham) was a forty-niner, got a report on the mine in 1863. At the time, American miners were seeking other mining ventures in other places in South America, such as in Peru and Bolivia, hoping to create another Comstock rush like what had recently happened in Nevada. The report on the Candelaria said it had great potential because its “ore samples [from the dry portions of the mine] contained gold, virgin silver, and black or sulfuret silver, and indicated a yield ranging from $200 to $1,120 per ton in gold alone” [Paulsen, 1981, 246]. Brumagim and some fellow investors from San Francisco decided to form a corporation and buy the mine. In July of 1863, Brumagim and friends incorporated the La Candelaria Mining Company of San Francisco after signing a “rehabilitation” contract with “the Laveaga brothers, who transferred twenty-three of twenty-four shares . . . together with a right to work 5,249 feet of the lode” [Paulsen, 1981, 246]. A rehabilitation contract meant the company “would do what was necessary to” bring the mine into full operation once again [Paulsen, 1981, 246]. Joseph G. Rice, a man who was married to Brumagim’s sister, was hired on to manage the mine. However, things did not go as planned as the company had problems getting the water out of the mine. It also had to put money into modernizing its stamp mill. The company soon ran out of money and had to reorganize. It reorganized in New York as the Durango Silver Mining Company. Brumagim still held the Laveaga shares. In 1865 he also purchased the remaining share from the Laveaga brothers for “$5,500." They moved to San Francisco. However, Rice made the deal for Brumagim, and the share remained in Rice’s name and was not immediately transferred to Brumagim. In 1866, after the 5th of May defeat of the French in Mexico, politics once again became unstable. The new company kept on spending money to rehabilitate the mine and it went into receivership in 1869. The company’s assets were sold at auction to the major shareholders of the Durango Mining Company of New York. Brumagim was one of the shareholders in the newly reformed company. Finally, “in 1880, sixteen years after Americans took control of the Candelaria, the drainage tunnel was finally completed” [Paulsen, 1981, 250]. The mine was not able to produce enough product to turn a profit. The investors were highly disappointed and “negotiated a renewable three-year lease with Columbus Waterhouse and Associates of San Francisco” [Paulsen, 1981, 250]. The Waterhouse people also retained an option to purchase the mine. They poured more money into the mine by adding “several miles of compressed-air pipe for drilling and ventilation” [Paulsen, 1981, 251]. Waterhouse also built a tramway, new crushing mills, and instituted “a more efficient amalgamation process” [Paulsen, 1981, 251]. By 1886, the mine had not produced any profits for its investors even though the mine was producing bullion and selling it. It was at this juncture that Brumagim was swindled out of his mine. Otto Braunsdorf was the new mine manager after Rice. Waterhouse wanted to have the mine free and clear. Braunsdorf suggested that the Waterhouse’s managing director, Henry Weil, “denounce” the mine – that is declare it to be abandoned. However, denunciating a fully working mine was illegal under Mexican law. Nevertheless, Daniel M. Burns, “Waterhouse’s general manager in the San Dimas district, [decided to take] direct action. He filed a petition with Ramon Castro, the local political chief and federal mining agent, denouncing the Candelaria. Burns alleged that the mine and its annexes along 3,200 meters of the lode had been abandoned. The New York company directors, upon Waterhouse’s request, voted in May, without stockholder approval, to sell the Candelaria to him. Castro promptly accepted the reports of two mining experts, both employed by Burns, confirming the abandonment of the mine, and officially recognized Burns as its owner” [Paulsen, 1981, 252]. After finding out about the swindle, Brumagim spent the next years of his life trying to get his mine and the profits it finally realized returned to him. He started pursuing his goals in the U. S. court system and went through both the civil and criminal court systems in Mexico. He appealed to foreign diplomats as well as the U. S. ambassadors to Mexico without much luck. His sister even signed an affidavit in her capacity as the administratrix of her husband’s estate saying Brumagim was the true owner of the last Laveaga share. Nothing Brumagim did seemed to work. He had a good case. The Mexican Mining Law Code of 1884 in its Article 72 stated that mine managers could not denounce “other mines within 800 meters of his own, unless he did so for the owner. Because Burns had ‘fraudulently denounced’ the Candelaria for Waterhouse, he had violated his company’s lease” [Paulsen, 1981, 257]. Brugamim was still trying to pursue his day in court at the start of the 1910 Mexican Revolution. Brugamin died in 1914 not having realized his dreams of regaining ownership of the mine and getting recompensed for the millions he was cheated out of. However, “in 1917, the regime of President Venustiano Carranza nullified various decrees and decisions [made] between February of 1913 and September of 1914, including the decision to deny the Birmingham company possession of the property. In December of 1917 the Federal District Court in Mexico City finally declared the fraudulent denunciation null and void. The Candelaria Gold and Silver Mining Company was authorized to take possession of the mine, subject to Article 27 of the new Constitution of 1917 which nationalized subsoil deposits. While the company was pleased to have the denunciation voided, it refused to take possession subject to Article 27, preferring to pursue its claim for losses against the Mexican government. For reasons that are not entirely clear, the claim was never adjudicated. It was pending as late as 1937, at which time the United States claims commissioner was attempting to locate the company’s stockholders. As a result, the Candelaria remained in the hands of Burns and his Consolidated Candelaria Company. Perhaps Birmingham was fortunate in being spared the frustrations incurred by other American investors in Mexican properties who had to contend in the 1920s with the issue over retroactive application of the provisions of Article 27” [Paulsen, 1981, 265]. Ultimately, the Candelaria story reflects the conflicts and troubles Americans had with investing in South American properties. There was political unrest, changing rules, and difficulties in negotiating between the U.S. And other countries' laws [Paulsen, “The Legal Battle for the Candelaria Mine in Durango, Mexico, 1890-1917,” Journal of the Southwest, pp. 243-266, Vol. 23, No. 3 (Autumn, 1981)]. Top obverse 21 mm by 50 mm engraved and inscrolled with beautiful calligraphy. It has the inscription "DM" in fanciful capital lettering. The right side is 19 mm by 52 mm inscribed with calligraphy is "Candelaria Mine, San Dimas, Mexico." Burns is noted to have been the president of the mine at the turn of the twentieth century. However, this ingot has no inscription date. Other sides of the bar are uninscribed. The weight is 204.7 grams. A similar piece sold at Stacks in January of 2001. The mine produced a large amount of silver and gold. The main office for the mine was in San Francisco. Inscription of the president's initials on the ingot indicates his pride of ownership. At the turn of the century, ingots may have been provided to a handful of company investors to create excitement and show the successful growth of the mine.

"World's Fair Gold Brick (nit) St. Louis, 1904." Writing one the reverse is illegible. Between the 30th of April through the 1st of December, more than 20 million people had attended the fair. According to the city of St. Louis Missouri website, the city of St. Louis loaned the park so that it could be used for the fair as long as when it was over that it would go back to a park and loaned over $5 million for the event. This was the largest of world fairs which had covered an area of 1,272 acres and consisted of 900 distinct buildings. Twenty-two countries were represented, including Japan, China, the Philippines and Ceylon. Forty-four U.S. cities, states and territories built large display buildings. The federal government built a bird cage large enough for the birds to fly freely. A working coal mine was realistic, since the workmen actually found coal under the park ground while building the exhibit. From 1893's Chicago World Fair, the Ferris Wheel was moved to St. Louis. It was so large it could carry 2,160 people which was 60 in each car. Francis Field was the site of the 1904 Olympic Games, which was held during the fair. It was the first Olympics held in the United States. Fair visitors saw exhibits ranging from a cow made entirely of butter, to their first look at the automobiles and electric lights. It was estimated the park received $500,000 worth of improvements from the fair, including streets, bridges, sewers and water systems. However, this fair was not only about fun. They had real live people displayed in their own "environment" where other people could see the different cultures, see the and "superiority" of the Euro/white man. It was like a museum where people could take pictures with people of other races and cultures. It was supposed to be celebration of progression of the white man. Only a few buildings and artifacts still remain.

One very important promotional piece shows the Quartette town site and associated buildings. The town itself was primarily a company town, generally operating from the 1901 to 1907 period. No other Quartette was located by us in America and we believe the name is unique to the Quartette Mine, which was a famous producer. The mine flourished from 1901-1915 producing approximately $2.3 million in gold and silver, making it the best mine in Searchlight by far.
