Very first issue of a California title which existed just five months...

Grass Valley, which was originally known as Boston Ravine and later named Centerville, dates from the California Gold Rush. Gold was discovered at Gold Hill in October, 1850 and population grew around the mine. When a post office was established in 1851, it was renamed Grass Valley the next year for unknown reasons. The town incorporated in 1860. 

This title existed from just Nov. 9, 1871 there April 9, 1872, a brief 5 month period.
Four pages, in somewhat "2nd rate" condition due to various archival mends, tears at the right margin, and a piece from the back leaf (see photos for details). But a first issue of a rare newspapers.
