(1) EXHIBIT OF RECEIPTS AND OPERATING EXPENSES

Manuscripts

This is a record for seventeen years, by months, for the years 1873 through 1889. A special printed form filled out in manuscript. Doubtless, this was a confidental record for the private use of the railroad's owners. This period includes the years of the Big Bonanza. The fabulous prosperity of the railroad and the Comstock during this period is indicated by the dividends paid. For the years 1876, 1877 and 1878 dividends averaged about $750,000 per year. Since it records concisely, the operating financial information accumulated from the many records of the company, it is most valuable for a study of the railroad during this period. Receipts are classified as from freight, passenger, ores, wood, lumber, weighing and miscellaneous. Disbursements are shown for train service, locomotive service, telegraph service, repairs, loss and damage to freight and property, etc. Of special interest are the manuscript notations of the payment of dividends, interest, the purchase of rails, payments to the contractors for the Carson and Colorado Railroad, etc.
