Docketed on the verso with manuscript release of portion of a mortgage from the Association. Usual folds Very Good plus.<br /> <br /> A Jay Cooke project to give him access to the lands along a Minnesota Railroad. "One of the projects growing out of Jay Cooke's connection with the Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad was the 'Western Land Association of Minnesota.' The purpose of this company was similar to George Francis Train's Credit Foncier of America. It sought to exploit Duluth and the town sites and land privileges along the right of way of a projected railroad. The first published report of the Western Land Association was made in 1871. The company had received cash of $200000 for its shares. Its receipts consisted of $97321 for real estate sold and $21166 in interest on deferred payments and it paid out $182390 for real estate purchases. But the most important item mentioned in the report is the stock interest acquired in the company by the Northern Pacific Railroad. In return for an agreement of the Northern Pacific to fix its eastern terminus at Duluth and to connect with the Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad the Western Land Association sold 2000 shares of its stock for $120000 to the 'Lake Superior and Puget Sound Company' the real estate subsidiary of the Northern Pacific.<br /> "The president of the company Mr. Samuel M. Felton said 'The company will soon be attacked by the Press and in the Courts as a monopoly and being the creature of the law may be subject to continual and expensive annoyance.' Moreover 'the Western<br /> Land Association has now accomplished as a holder of a large number of town lots the object for which it was organized and kept out of the hands of unprogressive speculators the property they would otherwise have held to the detriment of all large plans of improvement".

18957741Butte Montana: Genelli Studio N.D. Circa 1895. First Edition First Printing. Original Photograph on Mount. Original gelatin silver photograph measuring 13.25" x 10.5" mounted on its original heavy card-stock frame to an overall size of 13.75" x 10.75". An utterly charming and highly uncommon group portrait capturing ninteen young women dressed uniformly in flowing white gowns some adorned with sashes and bows. In contrast to the often rigid and sombre studio portraits typical of the period the image is remarkable for the subjects' relaxed candid and cheerful poses and expressions. Their choice of attire - resembling Victorian lingerie dresses - strongly suggests the group was gathered for a specific collective event such as a tableau vivant a theatrical production a society pageant or perhaps a graduation ceremony. Bears the stylized imprint of the prominent Western photography firm "Genelli" to the lower-left margin alongside a full studio stamp to the verso reading "Genelli 122 North Main St. Butte Montana." accompanied with a contemporary manuscript ink annotation also to the verso which suggests the era "about 1895" a location of provenance "Portage la Prairie" and a subject "Aunt Frank"'. Captured and produced by the American photography firm Genelli Studio a prestigious high-end franchise known for their artistic portraiture sophisticated lighting techniques and use of elaborate theatrical backdrops beautifully exemplified by the rich drapery and wainscoting apparent in the background of this lovely image. Exceptionally well-preserved retaining excellent clarity sharp focus and tonal range showing only but minor typical silvering to the darker areas and a few largely unobtrusive minor spots to the centre; Original mount remains sound showing some moderate edgewear slight rounding and minor delamination to the corners. Overall very good. Thoroughly lovely and charming. Rare. <br/><br/> Genelli Studio unknown
