Union Consolidated Silver Mining Company stock
Number 39515 for 50 shares to Coffin, Sanderson, & Cook, trustees, on September 14, 188?. Vignette of large building and one of soldier with sword drawn riding a horse. Lith: A. L. Bancroft. Signed by Buffington and Robert Sherwood. Incorporated April 19, 1872. Black on white. The Union Mine was part of the North End Mines of the Comstock Lode; the Union was an 1859 stake of 302' between the Mexican and Sierra Nevada Mines. Later, 270 additional feet were acquired from the North Ophir claim. Work at the mine began in 1860; although the Union had one of the deepest works (at 3350'), it was one of the least profitable of the Comstock; by the late 1870s it was producing no ore.
