Incorporated in Arizona 1902. No. 380 issued on July 22, 1903 to J. S. McLear & Co for 100 shares. Signed by secretary F. [Illegible] and president T. L. Oddie. No vignettes, detailed black border. Print is in black. Seal is embossed at left side of stock. U/C. Printer unspecified. Certificate measures 11"x6". Tasker Londes Oddie actually played a rather large part in the development of Tonopah. His friend Jim Butler found ore, Oddie insisted they get it assayed. The ore was rich, and in turn the wealth developed from the Tonopah mines helped make many men millionares, Oddie being one of them.
