Inc. in SD, May 1904. No. 390, issued for 500 shares to RP Dunlap on No.v 19, 1905. Signed by George S. Nixon as president and JM Fenwick as secretary. Not cancelled. Black border and print, red title, gold seal, multiple mining vignettes. "Mines at Goldfield, Nevada" in background. Pinholes, heavy folds with a tear. 8.25 x 11" George S. Nixon was a United States Senator from Nevada from 1905 until his death in 1912. Nixon, Nevada is named after him. Columbia was originally named Stamler (after Harry Stimler one of the founders). It lay about one mile north of Goldfield. It boomed in 1902 when gold was discovered at the base of the Columbia Mountains. Within two years the town had businesses, a bank, post office, chamber of commerce, a lodge, city hall, the Columbia Club, and a drug store. A weekly newsletter, "The Goldfield Review," was locally printed in 1904. Its mines were known for their rich, oxidized gold ore, and by 1907, the population had reached 1,500. With the construction of the Tonopah and Goldfield Railroad Depot, transportation costs plummeted, and a ten stamp Goldfield Consolidated Mill was built. However, Columbia's growth was dependent on Goldfield, and when Goldfield began to decline in 1908, Columbia did as well. Ken Prag Collection
