Early! Rare! Intact! Numbers 253 and 254. Both are issued to David Waters for 100 shares in 1879. Signed by secretary Mandeville Berry and president Rodman M Price. The Auraria mine was situated on the Pigeon Roost belt, half a miles west of Auraria. The mine was reported as being worked for a little over a year in 1882, but had found a vein only six months ago. The mine has done well; the material is quite as rich as found elsewhere on the same belt. The supply, however, is not as large or so favorably suited. For a considerable part of the year the water supply was so weak that the work of sluicing and piping was impeded. The company has a 15 stamp mill on the Etowah River which does furnish fine water power. Rodman McCamley Price was appointed purser in the United States Navy in 1840 and was stationed in San Francisco; during the Mexican-American War, he served as an officer of the Navy; prefect and alcalde of Monterey in 1846 and the first American to exercise judicial functions in California; naval agent 1848–1850. In 1849 he was a delegate to the first constitutional convention of California and unsuccessful in the election for the state's first representatives in Congress. He then returned to New Jersey where he was an American Democratic Party politician, who represented New Jersey's 5th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives from 1851–1853, and served as the 17th Governor of New Jersey, from 1854 to 1857. He became the father of the public school system of New Jersey. He established a ferry from Weehawken to New York and engaged in the quarrying business and in the reclamation of lands along the Hackensack River. Price was a delegate to the Peace conference of 1861 held in Washington, D.C. in an effort to devise means to prevent the impending Civil War.
