Greenwater,CA - Inyo County - November 2, 1906 - Furnace Creek South Extension Copper Company Stock
Incorporated in Arizona in 1906. Cert. #1254. No vignette but fancy scroll on the masthead. Utah Lithographing Co., S.L.C. printer. 10 ½” x 8”. Issued to Mrs. Annie Isler for 100 shares. Signed by Glen D. Payne as 3rd Vice President and R.B. Cradlebaugh as secretary. The company held 120 acres including the Anxiety and Copper Shoe groups. On the Copper Shoe pinching, the Anxiety became manifest. Selected ore samples assayed 5 to 30% copper. Peculiar promotion methods used by Shanghai Larry Sullivan were the norm for Greenwater (1908 Copper Handbook). The company was not regarded favorably and was apparently moribund by 1908. Heavy folds. EF.
