Incorporated in Arizona, April 1906. No. 231 issued November ?, 1906 to Geo. T. Barriker for 400 shares. Signed by Augustus ?, Vice President and E.H. Lattimer, Secretary. Printed by Goes. U/C. 10" x 5.75" . Black border and ink on crème paper with three vignettes: top left three miners looking at a rock, top center, eight miners underground, and top right single miner with gold pan. The ground surrounding the Gold Bar Mine was covered with other claims shortly after the initial successes of the Gold Bar Mine were publicized. As usual, most of these companies incorporated the words "Gold Bar" into their titles, staked out ground as close as possible to it, and tried to attract investors. Some of these mining companies never actually mined. All of them failed. The Original Gold Bar Extension ran from April to November of 1906.
