In this newspaper there was a large section about Sacramento's stock crash. In big letters the word crash was repeated 3 times. This is obviously trying to grab the reader's attention and let the town know that they are going into debt. It talked about what was going to happen to them if they stay in debt, and what they need to do in order to get out. It also said that this debt and crash is really not good for them, because they need new people to come to California. And they will not get many people if their town is in debt.
Pioche Daily Record:
I found this newspaper very interesting. I found in very bold letters "LOST" and in the lost section it read a women's gold chain. They literally put a single necklace into the newspaper's lost and found. This really shows how small Pioche, Nevada was in 1874. It also shows how the town had a such a trusting system to think that if something they have lost is found, that it will be returned. I also found an article that talked about Wells Fargo and Company. It is very cool to know that a bank that is in business today in 2016, was also in business back un 1872.
