Description: Available for ownership is an extraordinary piece of history - an original 1930 correspondence and sales letter from the Great Western Mining Company, situated in the thriving ore mining landscape of Cave Valley, Nevada. This three-page treasure (originally four), measuring 8.5" x 11", provides a fascinating glimpse into the early days of Nevada's ore mining industry. The letter is filled with captivating details, including the company's operations running day and night, extracting beautiful high-grade ore. The representative, J.F. Barnhill, encourages the buyer to invest and even suggests that Great Western can help finance the purchase of a 'little home' out of their salary. Quoted Sentences:"We are running day and night, and are socking beautiful high-grade ore.""I'll bet you get a kick out of buying the 'little home' out of your salary, but if you want it to do so Great Western will help you pay for it." One highlight is the mention of ongoing road work aimed at connecting the railroad to the mine, promising increased accessibility and efficiency. Due to heavy snows, there are delays in shipping ore to the market, providing insight into the challenges faced by mining operations during this era. Quoted Sentences:"The heavy snows have prevented our shipping the ore to market..." Notably, the letter includes a cash purchase order receipt for 200 shares at 25 cents per share, with an option to acquire an additional 400 shares at the same favorable price. Barnhill directs the buyer to write their check directly to him. Quoted Sentences:"Mail your check payable to me as I am taking care of the matter.""Hope this summer you will be able to see the mine during your vacation." The letter concludes with an invitation for the buyer to visit the mine during their summer vacation, adding a personal touch to this historic document.
