Issued in 1898 to D.G. Scofield for 250 shares. The Nevada Southern Railway incorporated in 1892 and despite the name, never entered Nevada. By 1893, the railroad had completed the line from Goffs (Blake) to Manvel to carry ore from the mines. In 1893, company freight trains began to haul goods to and from the Eldorado, Goodsprings and Ivanpah mining districts (Backcountry Adventures Southern CA., Massey Wilson). The grade of ore was lower than expected and the Nevada Southern Railway promptly went bankrupt. It was reorganized in 1895 as the California Eastern Railway. Many still referred to the company at that time as the Nevada Southern. The line was extended to Ivanpah, just west of the Nevada state line in 1902. The railroad was purchased by the Santa Fe in 1902 and remained in operation until 1923. Stub attached at the left. Red pen cancel. EF.
