Incorporated in New York, 1881. Cert. #1601 issued to Theo. Vos Burgh, Trustee for 100 shares in 1882. Signed by N.G. Fairman, secretary and W.A. Gildersleeve, president. Gildersleeve became captain of New York volunteer infantrymen during the Civil War. He gave an address at Gettysburg (1898) on the dedication of the memorial of the Dutchess County Regiment, of which he was captain. He attended law school after the war, and he became a New York Supreme Court Justice. Underground mining vignette. U/C. This was one of the most important mines at Panamint. It was originally formed by John Jones and his fellow Comstock millionaires. They raised significant capital to develop the mine, but they later found that it did not meet expectations. With this, they sold out the mine to a group of New York investors. The new company did better than expected but the hope for a new Comstock boom was never realized.
