Description: Paycheck From 'SAVAGE MINE', Virginia City, Nevada On The Comstock Lode-Aug.31, 1872 The Savage Mine has quite a well documented history. First claim was in 1859 and although they extracted at least $118 million in gold and silver they struggled for much of that time, finally hit water over 600 feet down and had to pay $500,000 a year to keep it pumped out.Though James White, the payee, is mentioned many times in the eras history, it's tough to know if it's this James White they're referring to. That all needs more research.In case you were wondering, $112 in 1872 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $2,897.90 today, an increase of $2,785.90 over 152 years.(invtom)
