Incorporated in 1895 in Colorado with its main office in Boston, MA. No. 3583 issued to Dr. E. I. Balcom by Edward C. Davis, President, and Jos. H. Allen, Treasurer, on 8 October for 25 shares. One stain in the upper left corner. U/C. Good condition. A smaller-sized stock with a very unique vignette that has the names of mines on a mountain side. These mines seem to be operated by the firm. They were the Come Up Mine, The Mineral Flower Mine, The Olive Mine, The West End Mine, and The Black Wonder Mine. In 1898, “the mines were connected by a mill and tramway.” The firm also had a 30 stamp mill. The major mine in the area was the Black Wonder. Other mines in the area were the “Smile of Fortune, Monster, Minnie Lee, George Washington, New Hope, Mountain View and Clinton” [Ref: Holabird, Western Americana, Auction # 9, Volume 2: Colorado, p. 74, 2001].
