Alameda Gold and Silver Mining Company
Stock certificate 246 for 100 shares to C. E. Gillett signed by secretary C. E. Gillett. Gillett was a trustee of the mining company. Ore was discovered in the area in 1872 and a mining district was established in 1873. By 1876, when this company was incorporated, a fire at one of the mills and a devastating flood had dampened spirits. In 1876 ore veins began to play out. Alameda was on the wrong end of the time line.City: CornucopiaCounty: ElkoState: NV
