Jumbo, Nevada location on John S. Cook & Co. ,Goldfield check
Red Top Mining Company of Goldfield has a Jumbo, Nevada location listed on their check. Red top vignette in center of check and light "DIVIDEND' can be seen. Signed by president CD Taylor and treasurer Colburn. Check is for $185. C.D. Taylor, President of Red Top from the beginning, opened its main ore shoot in February 1905, with total production of only $308,516 by November 1906. Always regarded as a mine with potential, litigation in March 1906 put immediate and future production in question. Taylor aggressively tried to maintain control of the Red Top until October 24, 1906 when George Wingfield gained an option to purchase controlling interest in the Jumbo and Red Top for a total price of $1,330,000.
