Very rare certificate signed by T.L. (Tasker) Oddie in 1906. A mining entrepreneur, Oddie was a principal player during the Tonopah-Goldfield boom of the early twentieth century. He served a term in the Nevada senate (1905-1909) and was elected governor in 1910 (Nevada Online Encyclopedia). Mount Oddie near Tonopah is named after him, as is Oddie Blvd in Reno and Sparks. The company operated in the Golden Arrow mining district at Gold Crater. The company owned 13 claims, employed 30, and operated the deepest shaft in the district, the Gold Bar (Shawn Hall, Preserving the Glory Days). Oddie has signed other mining certificates as president, but this one is extremely rare. #33 for 1000 shares to ES Moffat. Signed by president Oddie. Biography on Oddie and W.G. Cotter (mine namesake and Cossack officer). VF. Fold lines. Three pages of information on the Cotter mine, and short descriptions of the Golden Arrow district and rare Golden Arrow mining camp.
