With NV adhesive revenue stamp. Signed by CC Batterman as supterintendent. C.C. Batterman served as superintendent of the Gould & Curry, Crown Point, and Imperial Mines on the Comstock Lode in the early 1860s and 1870s and later became Nevada's second State Treasurer in 1869. He also served as warden for the Nevada State Prison. In 1881, he died at the young age of 53 from heart disease after moving to Tombstone to oversee mining interests there.

The Gould & Curry is one of the most famous mines on the Comstock Lode. Located between the Savage and Best & Belcher mines, it was staked in 1859 after being located by Alva Gould and Abraham Curry. They sold out early and Curry went on to be a central figure in Carson City (he was the first superintendent of the Carson City Mint and the first warden of Nevada State Prison). When the company was incorporated in 1860, George Hearst was one of the incorporator and William C. Ralston was treasurer. The mine was a large producer in the early 1860s and the company erected an incredibly expensive mill in Sevenmile Canyon in 1863. Between 1860-81, production was 314,000 tons yielding over $15 million.
