"Bodie Mining District, Mono Co. California" printed at center bottom. Incorporated March 14th, 1878. Certificate No. 1265, issued for 5 shares to W.G. Crandall, Trustee. Dated Aug. 26, 1878. Signed by A.J. Ralston as President and (Illeigible) as Secretary. No vignette, company name ornately presented. Black border and print. U/C. Lith. Britton, Rey & Co., S.F. Endorsed by Crandall on reverse with at least 17 paid assessment stamps also visible. This company was one of many in which Henry M. Yerington was involved. An adverse claim was filed by the Bodie Tunnel and Mining Company on August 30, 1880, against claims made by both the Tioga Consolidated Mining Company and Bechtel Consolidated Mining Company claims. Because their filing was not made within the required 30 day window, it was treated as a protest by the courts [Ref: Sickles Mining Decisions, 320].
