Reed, vice president. 2) Cert. #1333 issued in 1897 to T.W. Barhyatt for 500 shares. Signed by Oliver H. Shoup, secretary and J.R. McKinnie, president. The mine owned property on Battle Mountain and held a large interest in the Moon-Anchor Consolidated Gold Mines. The American office of the latter was managed by Shoup, Reed, and McKinnie. The mine had an English board and an English office [Ref: Hills, Official Manual of the Cripple Creek Mining District, 1900]. Shoup later became the governor of Colorado and was known for his significant riches in mining and oil. He served two terms from 1919-1923. During his governorship, he was responsible for the construction of the Moffat railroad tunnel. The tunnel bore was 6 miles long and was seen as a great engineering feat as it goes straight through the Continental Divide. The tunnel became the main railroad route through Colorado [Ref: colorado.gov]. -61139
