Cert. #1653, issued in 1882 for 100 shares to Louis J. Falk. Signed by Hughes and Laude as president. Kelsey Mining District, El Dorado County, California printed on the certificate. The Chaparal mine was located 2 miles SW of Kelsey. The mine opened in 1881 and was north of the South Fork of the American River, near Chili Bar Bridge (Burchard, 1881).
