Also "3,000 shares, $100 each," has been crossed out and 2,000 shares, $10 each has been stamped above it as well. Embossed company seal at the bottom left hand corner. Stub attached to the left. Three deep folds. Endorsed on the reverse by E.B. Yerington. Privately owned company that probably did not issue very many stocks out, considering it was incorporated in 1875, dated on 1911 at certificate number 34. Some of this companies major areas of operation were held in California and held land in Ormsby, Douglas and even Washoe County, Nevada. This companies main part of business was lodging and fluming wood until timber began to run low. They then began to sell and rent the company lands. It eventually died out in 1947. Very good overall condition.
