Tioga Consolidated Mining Company stock
Dated January 5, 1880. For 50 shares to Kenney & Dyer, Trustees. Certificate number 4769. Signed by president A. J. Ralston and secretary William Lunt. Eight paid assessments on reverse. This company was one of many in which Henry M. Yerington (V&T fame) was involved. Ralston was often associated with Yerington including the El Dorado Wood & Flume Company. An adverse claim was filed by the Bodie Tunnel and Mining Company on August 30, 1880, against claims made by both the Tioga Consolidated Mining Company and Bechtel Consolidated Mining Company claims. Because their filing was not made within the required 30 day window, it was treated as a protest by the courts [Ref: Sickles Mining Decisions, 320].
