Certificate #251, issued to J.H. Thompson and signed by Frank Williams as vice president. Nice printing job by G.T. Brown of San Francisco. Vignette of a lake with ice houses at the top left. Ice was a valuable commodity in the 1870’s. It was used in the mines at Virginia City as the underground temperatures were stifling. Ice was also used to refrigerate rail cars to ship California produce to the east. The lakes near Truckee and Donner Pass would freeze over in the winters and the ice was cut into blocks and stored in the ice house. Nine different ice companies operated at Boca alone. . Star cancels thru signatures. Part of stub and glue residue at left edge. City: Truckee State: California Date: 1879 ID# 44434
