Inc. in Colorado. No. 556. Uncancelled. Issued for 1000 shares to Geo. W. Thatcher. Dateline Aspen, Colorado, May 1, 1891. Signed by B. Clark Wheeler (president) and A. Beck (secretary). Reverse signed by Thatcher. No printer is listed. Company seal lower left. Properties located in the Roaring Fork Mining District. The Wheeler signature is significant because Wheeler founded and named the town of Aspen. Wheeler arrived in “Ute City” in 1880 and purchased several mining claims. He surveyed a new town site and formed a town company. He owned several businesses in Aspen and promoted it heavily. In 1891, the Engineering and Mining Journal notes that “the experiments in dressing the low-grade ore … were successful” and that 5,000 tons of ore on the Little Annie dump should assay at 12-18 ozs. silver per ton.
