Sierra District, Humboldt Co., N. T. (printed under title). "Neptune Tunneling Co. & Neptune Series" (printed bottom center). Incorporated June 19, 1863.

Signed by president Geo. Gibbs and secretary George A. Hill. Not cancelled. Black border and print. Beautiful vignette of prospectors next to a waterfall. Not a typical Nevada desert scene and quite unique. "Humboldt Co. N. T." underprint. Lith. Britton & Co., San Francisco. 25 cent US IR stamp at lower left. Folds, pinholes, bent corner. The Tallulah mine was a combination of the four mines on Neptune Hill. Early reports of this area were quite fantastic!
