Incorporated in South Dakota, 1906. No. A2943 issued December 30, 1910 to Chas. M. Schwab for 100 shares. Signed by McDonald as President and an assistant Secretary. Printed by the American Banknote Company, New York. Cancelled (June 4, 1940). Green border on white paper with vignette at top center of two men using a power drill underground. The Montgomery-Shoshone mine was located by E A Montgomery near Rhyolite, Nevada in 1904. The Montgomery Shoshone mine had become nationally known because Bob Montgomery once boasted he could take $10,000 a day in ore from the mine. It was later owned by Charles Schwab, who purchased it in 1906 for a reported 2 to 6 million dollars. [REF: http://www.nps.gov/deva/historyculture/rhyolite-ghost-town.htm]. The Montgomery Shoshone Consolidated Mining Company was made up of the original Montgomery Shoshone, the Shoshone Polaris, and the Crystal Bullfrog mines. [REF: Filer III].
