Incorporated 1906 in Arizona, Cert. #524, issued at Los Angeles, Cal. For 300 shares in 1907. Issued to Benj F Tefft Jr., signed by Way C. West as president. The 1908 Copper Handbook looked at this company and noted that the company “supposedly held 10 claims located somewhere in the Greenwater district, on which no development has been secured.” The company also held property at Brightwood in San Bernardino County and formerly held 12 claims at Cima. “Does flamboyant advertising, but apparently no work. Is regarded with suspicion.” This company was likely just another of the Greenwater scams. Three mining vignettes. U/C.
