Lot of 2: 1) Oro Mining Company Stock; Incorporated in 1878. Certificate No. 1004, issued on September 14, 1880 to William Stuart, Trustee for 100 shares. Signatures for secretary and president are illegible. Black border, red highlighted text for the share number. Stock is U/C, printed by Lith. Britton & Rey. Certificate measures 9"x4". 2) Sonora Consolidated Mining Company; Incorporated in 1879. Certificate No. 53, issued on December 7, 1879 to D.P. Barhydt for 100 shares. Stock cancelled by cutting out the secretary and president's signatures. A vignette on the left side of the certificate shows three miners working underground. Border is black.
