Rare directory for the Golconda Telephone & Power Company, possibly the only issue published. This Nevada directory covers exchanges for Winnemucca, Golconda, Battle Mountain, Paradise, Lovelock, and Rochester. A map at the start of the text shows the telephone network across several counties. There are also contemporary ads and directions for using the telephone. A contemporary user has annotated the directory rather extensively, correcting errors and adding names, as well as notations of "RR" scattered throughout. We locate a single copy of this issue at the Bancroft Library and no others elsewhere.
