Incorporated in South Dakota. Cert. #170, issued to Nathan A. Taylor for 2,250 shares at Chicago, Illinois in 1900. Signed by James N. North as president and Wm. Janney as secretary. Very nice, large photo like vignette of the smelter and the mountains in the distance. Small vignette of miners working underground at the left. Black print on crème with green borders. 12” x 7 ½”. We are guessing that this is the company listed in the 1908 Copper Handbook as the Granite Creek Smelting and Reduction Company. The company was dead by 1908. Very attractive, engraved certificate from the Western Bank Note Co., Chicago. EF
