Stock Certificate from the Atlantic-Pacific Railway Tunnel Co. Incorporated in Colorado. Certificate number 10593. Issued in 1895 at Denver, Colorado to Garvise S. Mervin. Signed by M.M. Pomeroy. Size 8.5 by 4.25 inches. Not cancelled. Fabulous vignette showing Loveland Pass, Kelso Mt., Grey's Peak, Mt. of Holy Cross, etc. Signed by M.M. (Brick) Pomeroy as president. Pomeroy worked on this railway tunnel through the Divide for a twenty year period and never made it. While no railroad was ever constructed, the five mile tunnel project was a huge undertaking. About a mile was completed on the east side and some work was done on the west side. The tunnel was to carry a railroad from Stevens Gulch through Kelso Mountain and through the Divide, exiting near Decatur on the Snake River. The company did acquire some mining claims near the east portal (Ellis & Ellis). Small vignette of a train going through the mountain and the names of the mountain peaks such as Torry's Peak and Mt. of Holy Cross above.
