Officers’ signatures include T. H. Richardson, President, whose name is on the left, and N. E. Turnbull, Secretary, whose name is on the right. Incorporated in Colorado in 1921.

The old Rilla firm was a reorganization of the O’Reilly Gold Mining Co. which owned the Bay state group consisting of 13 claims comprising 65 acres all on the north slope of North Star Mountain [Holabird, Fred, Western Americana, Auction #9, Volume 2: Colorado, p. 112, 2001].
