Cert. #539, issued for 100 shares to the Estate of John Englis. Signed by Philip Van Wyck as president. The railroad ran from 1903 to 1907. Running from Solomon City, the line was to skirt the Salomon River and pass hundreds of mining camps on the route to Council City, about 50 miles. The aim was to connect to the Cape Nome goldfields. Nice vignette of a train at the station with women in fancy dress on the landing. American Bank Note Co, New York, Litho. Uncancelled and very nice. Rare.
