Southern Nevada Mining Company
Issued in 1878 for 400 shares at $50 each. This is stock certificate #8. We are guessing that this company operated at Eldorado Canyon as the district dates back to the early 1860’s. The noted Techatticup Mine in the district was a major producer for decades. Located 39 miles southeast of Las Vegas, the site of old Eldorado is submerged under Lake Mojave. Ruins of the Techatticup and other mines are left at Nelson (Paher). The certificate was issued in Northern Nevada at Reno as the company needed to raise financing in a population center. The names of the ledges the company mined are printed on the certificate: Sunrise Ledge, 1500 ft., Badger Ledge, 1500 ft., Jennie Ledge, 1500 ft. and London Ledge, 1500 ft.City: El DoradoCounty: ClarkState: NV
