Bodie,CA - Mono County - August 5, 1879 - North Standard Gold and Silver Mining Co. Stock Certificat
Bodie Mining District. Incorporated in 1879. Cert. #1397. Issued to E.A. Richardson, Trustee for 100 shares. Signed by W.H. Brown as president and H. Deas as secretary. No vignette. Black print on white paper. Uncancelled. Printer E. Bosqui & Co., S.F. 5 x 9”. Datelined San Francisco. The North Standard is mentioned only briefly in Burchard, 1882 as work was continuing during the year drifting north and south. The ledge was from 3 ½ to 6 feet wide, containing ore assaying, in some cases, $40 per ton. There is no mention of the mine in Burchard’s report of 1883, and the mine was likely idle by then.
