Stock Certificates book, contains 250 certificates/ receipts total, with the first 40 signed out with receipts, all hand-lettered and counter-signed by the officers. The issued certificates have an embossed seal that is not seen on the unissued certificates. John Zabriskie (possibly related to Christian B. Zabriskie, of Death Valley and 20-Mule Team Borax fame) made a gold discovery at Breyfogle, 2 miles east of the town of Manhattan. The back of each filled out certificate features a hand-signed receipt for the amount, date, etc. The Company officers were J. Zabriskie, W. O. Pray, Sutherland Murray, H. A. Jones, Eva S. Weber, and P.C. Durgin. There are also multiple hand-written "Temporary Receipts" attached to the certificate leaves inside. Good to excellent condition. Rare. - Maish Collection -59006
