Choice, rare! Named for Teddy Roosevelt's "Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick." Number 443 for 200 shares to Frederick E Hoyt Sr. Signed by H Leon Haynes and JB Girard. Vignette of a big stick. Choice with no apparent condition issues! JB Girard is listed in Arizona's "Who's Who." He started as Deputy Mineral Surveyor, then he was the Assistant Chief Engineer of the Santa Fe and Grand Canyon Railway. He started in mining at the Anita Copper. He held several other mining positions. In 12908 he was in charge of designing and constructing the twenty-stamp gold mill and cyanide plant for the Big Stick. His accomplishments are far too many to list here. The Big Stick Gold Mining Company was located in the Santa Maria District about 20 miles northwest of Date Creek - the nearest railroad stop. In March of 1909 the "Mining and Engineering World" reported 55 men were employed. Drifts were being run at the 200-foot level at shafts 2 and 4. "The showings in all the openings are excellent!"
