EUREKA DAILY LEADER, Nevada, Aug. 13, 1879  A very nice, folio-size newspaper from this small, remote town in northeastern Nevada.
This old mining town is situated in the mountains at a 6,500 feet elevation in a county with just 3 towns--total county population today is just 1900 residents. In its heyday when mining was the predominant draw from the mid-1870's until the shutting down of most mines by 1891, the town had a population of 9000. Newspapers from such short-lived boom towns are quite scarce as they had short lives as well.
Here is an issue from 1879 when mining was near its peak, with various ads & news of the day.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, news agent's stamp in the masthead, very nice condition.
