Incorporated in Arizona, October 1904; Certificate No. 2, issued on October 19, 1904 to Fred R. Auglewier for 5000 shares; signed by John Beckman, President and M.H. Kunzle, Secretary; printed by John Partridge, 306 Cal. St., San Francisco., U/C. Three vignettes: on upper left three miners looking at a large rock, on upper right, a miner panning for gold, in center, eight miners underground with picks and shovels. Black ink on crème paper. Gold Crater was located twenty-three miles southeast of Las Vegas. Speculators soon arrived and bought lots. By spring of 1905 the boom had subsided and a planned water pipeline was never completed.
