Rare stock with connections to the discovery of gold in California! This is stock #68 for 25 shares to John G Carpenter. It is signed by Carpenter as secretary and J. H. Tilton as President. Three vignettes: patriotic bald eagle with shield, Miss Liberty holding the scales of justice, and a miner holding a pick axe. States mines were in the Argentine District. Only 1,600 shares were ever issued with one share equaling one foot. Carpenter was an early noted California pioneer and friend of James Marshall the discoverer of gold. It was Carpenter who talked Marshall into 'posing' for the famous photo of him now in the Smithsonian. Marshall, who had become an alcoholic, was in Sacramento and had asked Carpenter to buy him a bottle of booze. Carpenter agreed, but only on the condition that Marshall have his picture taken. With his hair askew and uncombed and with an untidy & graying growth of beard underway, Marshall stared blankly into the camera for this famous picture. City: Virginia CityCounty: StoreyState: NV
