Incorporated in South Dakota, February, 1905; No. 742 issued February 17, 1906 to H.H. Shrim for 1000 shares; signed by J.P. Loftus as President and C.J. Kirk, Assistant Secretary; printed by Press f John Partridge, S.F.; U/C; endorsed on reverse. The Gold Bar was a gold deposit on the outskirts of the Bullfrog District about four miles out of Rhyolite. It was discovered at the same time as Bullfrog (1904) and by 1907 had a mill. There was a lawsuit with the Homestake Mine, an adjoining property. Loftus was an honorable man who made money at the Goldfield and Tonopah stocks, but was attacked by the local newspapers. Both the Gold Bar and the Homestake fell victim to the Failure of the Sullivan Trust Company panic [Ref: Holabird, Filer II, p. 54].
