# 726 for 2134 shares to George A Alden of Boston. Signed by Peter Butler and president JP Whitney. Dateline 1875. Incorporated in Massachusetts. Not cancelled. Left side shows aging. No corner, edge or pinhole issues. Very nice. Mines located in Clear Creek and Summit. In 1879 this company's stock was trading as seen in Massachusetts newspapers. Joel Parker Whitney was a millionaire and very important figure in Colorado (and Wyoming, New Mexico and California) history. He made a fortune in the California Gold Rush as a merchant before heading to Colorado Territory in the 1860s. He authored an 1865 book on Colorado silver mining that many believe helped establish statehood. He continued to make money in the mining and railroad industries, as well as real estate in California and ranches in New Mexico.
