No. C2073 for 100 shares issued to F. De Percin by A. J. Greuet and E. R. Dodge. Signed on reverse by Percin, a witness and a Notary Public on 2 December 1909. Nevada pioneer Dodge arrived from Wisconsin and labored in many occupations. He attended Heald Business school in San Francisco and, when he returned to Nevada, he became the County Clerk at Eureka. According to the 1910 Mines Handbook, The Bouvard's development "Aside from prospect work in the shape of open cuts and shallow shafts the principal development at present consists of a 150-foot incline shaft, which is to be sunk to the 700-foot level. Ore encountered in sinking the shaft thus far said to average $12.00 to $14.50 per ton."
