Unissued. The word tunneling is misspelled on the certificate. Incorporated in Colorado in 1866. In the Nevada Mining District. Fred Holabird wrote that the Quartz Hill was “located in Nevada Gulch, on the eastern slope of Quartz Hill within the limits of Central City. There were about twenty quartz mills operating as well as stores and hotels. Those who worked in the mines [in the area] were making $3 to $4 a day more than they could make back east” [Ref: Holabird, The Alexandra Tillson Filer Collection, Part II: Colorado, Nevada, Montana, and the Hauser Collection of Anaconda Corporate Seals, p. 120, 2000]. Smaller-sized stock. Very good condition.
