Uncancelled stock, no. 45 issued to E. W. Wiggins, 50 shares, signed by J. F. Woodman, Vice-President and W. W. Wiggins, Secretary, 1880. Beautiful gold border and title. The Blue Ridge mine, in Lander County, Nevada, is in the rich Bullion Mining district and consists of nine mining claims. Orvil and Bessie Jack who had just moved to Nevada from Colorado filed the claim in 1956. The first turquoise to come out of the Blue Ridge was some of the finest blue spider web found in Nevada. This material is rarely seen today. In the beginning of the 1980's Orvil Jack came upon veins of what is now called Orvil Jack turquoise. Though little was sold during that period due to the beauty of his Blue Ridge nuggets and spider web turquoise.
