PLEASE NOTE: We love acquiring decades' old bank drafts, billheads, correspondence, stock certificates, vintage ephemera and other paper memorabilia - - as these documents afford us an opportunity to look back in time and experience some of what was occurring long ago. You might enjoy acquiring this item for your own collection! TYPE OF SCRIPOPHILY, EXONUMIA, NOTAPHILY꞉ Unusual mining company check with reconciliation page / ledger affixed signed by a three-term Idaho State Senator. COMPANY NAME꞉ Tamarack & Custer Consolidated Mining Co. CITY, COUNTY & STATE꞉ Wallace (Shoshone) Idaho. FORM PRINTED BY꞉ Unknown. DATE ON FORM & YEARS OLD꞉ January 31, 1914 (110-years old). SEQUENCE NUMBER: Check number 1542. PAY TO THE ORDER OF꞉ The Wallace Drug Company. ADDRESS꞉ 410 Sixth Street. CITY, COUNTY & STATE꞉ Wallace (Shoshone) Idaho. PRODUCTS PURCHASED꞉ Unknown. VALUE OF GOODS꞉ $8.35 (adjusted for inflation, this amount would equal $256.13 in 2024). TYPE OF DOCUMENT꞉ Unusual company check with a reconciliation / ledger page affixed. GENERAL COLOR(S)꞉ Light blue bond paper with dark blue, black and red inks. MEASUREMENTS꞉ 3½” tall by 8¼ wide when folded (7” tall by 8¼ wide when unfolded). EMBOSSING꞉ The company used a check protector to emboss the phrase “NOT OVER TEN DOLLARS $10$” on the face of the check. TAXATION/REVENUE/OTHER STAMPS꞉ None. WATERMARKS ON PAPER꞉ Yes. This was a high quality “BOND” paper although the paper company's watermark is only partial due to the way the sheet was cut. FOLDS꞉ Appears to be one vertical (up and down) and no horizontal (left to right). There is a very light diagonal crease at the bottom right hand corner of the check. CORNERS꞉ Excellent condition. HOLES, TEARS, DAMAGE꞉ In excellent condition given its age. Punch canceled “PAID.” ADDITIONAL NOTES꞉ In very good condition. Minor discoloration and browning from a century's worth of age. Punch canceled “PAID” by the Wallace National Bank when they paid the check. Our research leads us to believe the GPS coordinates for the mine put the mine closer to Cornwall, Idaho than Wallace, Idaho (Wallace is 5½-miles away as a crow flies). The check was signed by the mining company's president Jerome Day. Jerome Day served as president of the Tamarack & Custer Consolidated Mining Company from 1912 until his death in 1941. He was also the company's manager and treasurer. Day was a prominent figure in the Idaho mining industry, serving as president of the Idaho Mining Association from 1919 - 1922. He was also a state senator from Latah County for three terms and a member of the Idaho Democratic party. ABOUT THE TAMARACK & CUSTER CONSOLIDATED MINING CO.꞉ The Tamarack & Custer Consolidated Mining Company mined lead, silver, zinc, copper and gold. In 1913, the Custer Consolidated Mining Company (organized in 1910 to manage a number of older mines) merged with the adjacent Tamarack & Chesapeak Mining Company, forming the Tamarack & Custer Consolidated Mining Company. Tamarack & Custer Consolidated Mining Company existed from 1912 to 1947 when it then became Day Mines Incorporated (from 1947 to 1981) followed by its current-day owner the Hecla Mining Company. Its last year of production was 1978 according to Western Mining History. ABOUT THE WALLACE DRUG COMPANY꞉ In 1914, the Wallace Drug Company was located at 410 Sixth Street, Wallace, Idaho and had a lovely crank-out canopy which, when expanded, would help keep the store cooler by blocking the sun. The drug store was located on the ground-floor of a three-story stone building. The law firm of Bixby and Marlow was above them on the second-floor. Remarkably, today, the building is still standing and the address is now home to the North Side Electric and Supply Company, and yes, they have a crank-out canopy too!
