Very rare. Inc. in West Virginia. No. 1085, issued for 100 shares to Harriet M. Rose on March 16th, 1896. Signed by vice president DM Hyman and secretary Percy Hagerman. Not cancelled. Maroon border, black print, and underground mining vignette. ABN. Folds, some soiling. Seal is almost punched out. 7.5 x 10.75" According to Aspen Weekly Times, January 7, 1893: "The Aspen Contact Mining company's property is located on the south side of Woody Creek, about seven miles northeast of Aspen. The development has proved that pay ore is not confined to that portion of the vein at Aspen." Percy Hagerman was a businessman, outdoorsman, and well-known mountaineer who painted the mountains he was climbing. Hagerman Peak near Aspen is named for him. He inherited properties from his father, James J Hagerman, who owned and sold the Colorado Midland Railway Company and was an investor in the gold mines of Cripple Creek.
