Scott No. 65 Estimate $3,000 - 4,000. THE ONLY KNOWN MANUSCRIPT AND THE EARLIEST OF TWO POSTMARKS FROM ST. JOSEPH, ARIZONA TERRITORY DURING THE PAH-UTE COUNTY PERIOD. St. Joseph was the second settlement along the Muddy River in the Moapa Valley. Founded in May 1865, it was a small farming community. The site of the town was moved in 1866, the same year one of the largest horse/cattle raids in southern Nevada took place at the town. Paiute hunters successfully drove off the cattle and horses being on an island in the Muddy. Eventually a fort was built at the new site of St. Joseph, on a bluff above the river. The community took its name from Joseph Warren Foote who led the settlers to the new location. The small community did well, opening a post office in 1867. In August 1868, a fire burned much of the town, including a cotton gin, but residents rebuilt. By 1869, St. Joseph was rivaling St. Thomas as a farming community in the valley.When the Mormon settlers removed to Utah in 1871, the community was abandoned. In 1880, when settlers again came to the Muddy River area, a ranch owned by Robert Logan reoccupied the site of St. Joseph. Renamed Logan's Ranch, or Logan, it became Logandale in 1917. (Image1)

St. Joseph Ariz., Sep 8 (Pah-Ute), clear full cds (Meyer 2, rarity 12) on cover to Salt Lake City, U.T., franked with manuscript canceled 1867, 3¢ rose, F. grill; rough cover opening at right with pieces out of stamp, still Very Fine strike of this unique postmark, one of Two Recorded Postmarks From St. Joseph, Arizona Territory During the Pah-Ute County Period. Scott No. 94 Estimate $500 - 750. In 1864, Nevada became a state, but its eastern and western borders were not yet surveyed and located. By 1867, the new state had been given the option of extending its southern boundary. Though it took Nevada's state legislature over six months to agree to the new land, it officially became part of Nevada in 1867.The authorities in the Arizona territory, from which the land was being taken, scrambled to create a county, called Pah-Ute County, which included the land being lost, as an attempt to lay a better claim. The confusion extended to the Post Office Department, which noted the Post Office of St. Joseph as in Pah-ute County, Arizona Territory, on October 1, 1868, and then finally placed it in Lincoln (later Clark) County, Nevada, in April 1871.
