According to Nevadanorthernrailway.net, "The Nevada Consolidated Copper Company was incorporated on 17 November 1904 with 1 million shares, valued at $5.00 a share. Nevada Con had vast ore reserves but little working capital. Kennecott acquired Nevada Con with a series of stock transactions that began on 05 May 1932 with the exchange of one-half share of KCC for one share of Nevada Con. Accordingly, on 12 June 1933 KCC acquired all the assets of Nevada Con (including the mines at Ruth, Nevada, Ray, Arizona, and Santa Rita New Mexico) as well both the Nevada Northern Railway and Ray and Gila Valley Railroad. The new wholly owned subsidiary was renamed the Nevada Consolidated Copper Corporation. Nine and one-half years later, on 31 December 1942, Nevada Con Corp was dissolved and became the Nevada Mines Division of Kennecott Copper Corporation within the new KCC Southwestern Division." This 6` wide, 1`8" tall enameled sign features a red border, white background, and black lettering outlined in red: NEVADA CONSOLIDATED COPPER CORP./ NEVADA MINES". Bears 22 holes around the border for mounting. The center bears two rusted out (bullet?) holes, and there are about 15 chips along the edges of the sign. -60431
