EARLY number 3689 for 100 shares issued to CJ Donance in 1880. Signed by president Loring L Lombard and secretary Charles A Trowbridge. No pinholes, edge issues, dog ears, foxing! (Slight upper left cut indentation from original processing.) Very nice! "The property of the Dahlonega Gold Mining Company, formerly known as the Battle Branch Gold Company, consists of 80 acres of mineral land situated on the Etowah river about one mile from the village of Aurora, Georgia; water rights and power, including a dam across the Etowah, a race 750 feet m length and 21 miles of ditches for supplying their own and adjacent mines with water at all seasons; a splendid 10 stamp mill capable of crushing fifteen to twenty tons of ore per day; the Little Giant Hydraulic works which do the work of fifty men; and a tramway for transporting the ore from the mine to the mill. By the aid of their splendid water power the company is enabled to wash all the top dirt, and thoroughly expose the ledge cutting, a channel 100 feet wide by from 100 to 150 feet in depth, and saving every particle of gold in the sluice boxes." [United States Annual Mining Review and Stock Ledger, 1879] Loring L Lombard with Richard G Berford operated the Berford & Co. letter-carrying business beginning in 1851. Berford & Co.'s Express primarily served the West Coast of North, Central and South America. He was an early investor in the Croton mine on the Hudson River in 1863. In 1876 he was working his farm in Dover. (Al Adams Gold Rush Memorabilia Collection) HWAC# 57422 Date: 1880 Location: Dahlonega, Georgia
