Lot 471		Utah, Salt Lake City, 1889, General Tithing Storehouse Scrip 5c and 10c notes (1) 1889, 5¢, Good for Meat, Fine (1) 1889, 10¢, Produce and Merchandise, Very Good. Number of notes 2. One of the doctrines of the Mormon Church calls for its members to donate one-tenth of their annual income to the Church as tithing. In the early days, many of the members also donated every tenth day as a labor tithe. Because of lack of cash in the Salt Lake Valley in the first few years, much of the tithing was donated in kind. For example, a farmer growing wheat would donate every tenth bushel; a farmer raising cattle would donate every tenth cow or steer. The general tithing storehouse, established in 1850, distributed the donated merchandise. In addition to storing the donated goods, the storehouse served somewhat like a retail store, except that most of the good were exchange for other items they needed, such as chickens for hay or butter for eggs. Workers on Church projects were given credit for their labor and could draw provisions. The poor and needy could draw provisions through the ward bishop. In 1888 United States money was still scarce in the Territory. To help alleviate this problem, between 1889 and 1908, the Church issued tithing scrip in different denominations of less than one dollar. The scrip was payable in kind and was convenient method of distributing produce and meat from the storehouse. All scrip carries the facsimile signature of William B. Preston, the Presiding Bishop of the Mormon Church. The storehouse changed names a few times and closed its doors in 1908. Estimated Value $50 - 100. View details	Realized $437

Lot 484		Idaho Territory, Silver City (Owyhee), 186-, $10, One of Two Confirmed. For many years our consignor thought this was draft was unique. We have searched many catalogs and a number of very knowledgeable individuals to research this item. In that quest, we have only been able to located one other, which is in much lower grade. This draft, while the corner is missing is at least Very Good. In the 1860s money was a scarce commodity, especially in the west. We believe that this item was given by the bank to certain wealthy customers in Silver City to be used as a draft.

The bearer could easily use this as a Ten Dollar note with any of the merchants or persons within and around Silver City and Boise City. When a note was presented to the bank, it would be charged against the individual's account. Should that account be over drawn, the bearer would have been referred to the maker for the funds.

Lot 491		Nevada, Reno, 1870s to 1880 $10 Gold Certificate of Deposit. One of Two Known! The obligation would make this item more like a $10 in gold circulating Certificate of Deposit than a promissory note. Payable at The Reno Savings Bank or the Anglo California Bank of San Francisco. One of only two known and the other was sold just recently at auction and brought just over $2000. That note, was used to Illustrate the book Nevada Sixteen National Banks and their Mining Camps by W.O. Warns. A remainder and unissued. Good to Very Good with a number of pinholes. The Reno Savings Bank was opened in 1877 by local merchants with James H. Kinkead (who signed this note) as manager. By 1881, the bank closed its doors forever. Shortages of hard money in the west were still widespread in the 1870s and 1880s. Many attempts were made to issue private currency elsewhere in Nevada during this time period. The officers of the Reno Savings Bank obviously intended this to circulate as currency, and called the note a "Certificate of Deposit" in attempt to evade Nevada's law against the movement of private currency. Kinkead was deputy Sheriff of Washoe County (where Reno is located) during the time when the Central Pacific Railroad refused to pay taxes. One day Kinkead appeared at the Reno train station at first light and chained the first locomotive (which was eastbound) to the tracks. Later, when a westbound train arrived a number of hours later, he also chained it to the tracks. Central Pacific Railroad lost no time in wiring the tax payments to Reno. After receiving word that the taxes had been paid, Kinkead released the trains from the tracks. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
