The Eberhardt & Aurora Mining Company was located in White Pine County, Nevada outside of the city of Hamilton. Eberhardt, a British owned company, founded in 1869, was one of the primary silver mines in Nevada. In 1871 the owner of the mine began extensive construction on the camp. The mining company built a post office, saloons, wagon shop, carpenter shop, blacksmith stores, and several other buildings and businesses. By 1885, however, the company shut down after irregular operations.
This collection is comprised of a single series of administrative records from the Eberhardt & Aurora Mining Company dating from 1842-1877 and is arranged alphabetically by record type. The majority of the collection contains correspondence and letter press. There are also several documents that pertain to the mining company’s finances such as bills, receipts, cancelled checks, and financial notes.
This collection is organized into one series: Administrative 1842-1877.
