Small archive of materials related to the Silver King Mine

1920009370Elkhorn Oregon now a dead post office 1920. Unbound. Very good. This lot of consists multiple items: One canceled check from the Silver King Mining Company One application and contract to purchase Silber King Mining Company stock Two Silver King Mining Company employment agreements accepting shares of capital stock in lieu of wages Two letters on Silver King Mining Company letterhead regarding "grub" needed at the mine One note on plain paper enclosed in a Silver King Mining Company envelope and One file copy of a letter regarding the transfer of a stock certificate. The items are in nice shape. Two of the covers are postmarked with Doane Type 2 No. 1 "railroad track" cancels. Doane Cancels were the Post Office Department's first attempt to improve postmark legibility by issuing rubber handstamps. The name honors Edith R. Doane a Postal Historian who became interested in these early 20th Century Handstamps in the 1950's. They were used at smaller 4th class post offices where receipts did not exceed $500 in a year. Type 2 Doane Cancels have 2 sets of railroad track type bars with a number in them. They were issued from Sep. 29 1903 until Jun. 30 1905. The "1" inside the bars meant the Elkhorn Postmaster annual compensation less than $100. The contents of two letters suggest that one supervisor and four miners worked the mine and are rather eye-opening with regard to life at site: "Have recd some of the grub. Wish you would send me $5 or $10 . . . as my old 30-30 is Broke and I want to get it fixed . . . as there is a cooger hanging around. . . have got to get some nails to do some fixing up things and have borrowed money to by Postage Stamps and tobacco. I hear there has been $150000 put up to sink on the Silver king how is it. There was a party here from Portland who tells me that . . . there was some machinery bought for the Silver King. What is it. . . I have rcd. 100 lbs of flower and the bacon coffee one case - tomatoes - and one case milk beans and if you have sent anything more I have not recd it old man shire said that was ll that was there - I am out of lard and sugar." The mine was located in the Lester Mining District on the western slope of the Cascades about 24 miles from the summit of Mt. Jefferson and ten miles from Gates and 17 miles from a railway station at Lyons. The complex consisted of 12 contiguous claims with a total of 240 acres. The "Queen Vein" reached by tunnel contained the best developed and richest ore. Although only traces of gold lead and zinc were present assays showed in places it contained up to almost 41 ounces of silver per ton. Although no official production numbers were recorded the mine is remembered for providing a large amount of silver for the relative short time it was operated. It is still accessible and safe to explore as the Bureau of Land Management has left it open and ungated. A nice grouping of documents from a short-lived but productive Oregon silver mine made more interesting by the use of relatively scarce postal handstamps on the companies outgoing mail. books

The Exorcist Original poster maquette for the 1973 film

1972145005Burbank CA: Warner Brothers 1972. Original maquette demonstrating an early poster design for the 1973 film featuring a vintage silver gelatin photograph of the legendary streetlit scene of Father Merrin's first arrival to Georgetown in the film mounted to the poster. A minimal design without the credits information seen in the completed original "purple style" poster variant and with a proposed but ultimately unrealized release date of Christmas Day shown at the bottom margin. This maquette compares both to the "purple style" poster in its use of said purple text but also to the original black and white "special poster" design both in size and compositional austerity. The "special poster" measured 25 x 19 inches as opposed to the standard 27 x 41 inches for the one sheet and stated nothing but the film's title and the stark photo of Father Merrin. Based on the 1971 novel by William Peter Blatty and written for the screen by Blatty. One of the great genre films of the 1970s that accomplished the uncommon feat of being an over-the-top sensation upon its release and gaining subsequent status as a classic with a strangeness and depth supplied by Ellen Burstyn and Max von Sydow that only increases with repeated viewings. Another distinction was that it walked away with two Oscars including Best Screenplay for Blatty along with eight nominations including Best Picture a feat nearly unheard for a horror film. Set in Washington DC and shot on location in Washington DC notably Georgetown University New York City and Mosul Iraq. 18 x 12.5 inches mounted on a 30 x 20 inch mat. Black with the vintage black and white photo of Father Merrin affixed at the center and a hand painted release date. Title letters are hand cut from purple paper and affixed in place. Good condition with water damage to the bottom three inches of the mat and with soil and loss of glue adhesion to the white mat. Archivally matted and framed in a museum-quality frame with UV glass. National Film Registry. Clover "Men Women and Chainsaws. Warner Brothers unknown books
