Duplicate Cash book. Sooke Mines, V.I. from December 10, 1864

  • GR-3343
  • Series
  • 1864-1865

The series consists of a duplicate cash book of payments received by Alexander Watson, treasurer, for mining revenue from Sooke Mines, Vancouver Island, commencing December 1864 (1864-1865).

The journal is organized into debtor and creditor cash pages (abbreviated Dr. and Cr) that are recorded on the left-hand and right-hand sides respectively: “Dr” cash pages include date, receipt number, from whom, receipt description, and amount; “Cr” cash pages include date, summary of payment by type, and amount.

Mining revenue resulted from payments for licences, records of mining claims and transfers, percentage on purchase money, and records of water privileges. Payments correspond to the mining regulations and fees for Sooke District issued by the Acting Colonial Secretary Henry Wakeford on July 29, 1864 (published in The Daily British Colonist).

The script throughout the volume varies.
