Early! Chartered in Canada by Royal Letters Patent. No. 115, issued for 1 shares to William Parker on Nov. 17th, 1866 in New York. Signed by president C. Hibbard and secretary Wheeler. Not cancelled. Allegorical vignette at the top with a pioneer and lion on opposite sides of a Canadian seal. Also a portrait vignette at the bottom (of De Lery?). Printed by Continental Bank Note Co., NY. 6.25 x 10" Folds, bent corners, stains on reverse and bottom left. The Canadian Mining Manual of 1890 has a scathing commentary on this mining company. Apparently the De Lery family had entire control of the gold in this region essentially forever due to bad wording in the clause in the patent. The claims were in the Seigniory of Rigaud, Vaudreuil, on the Chaudiere River in Quebec. The manual states that these are the richest gold discoveries in Quebec. It calls the patent to the De Lery family one of the greatest blunders in Quebec gold mining history. (Prag Collection) Date: Location: Quebec, zCanada HWAC# 60465
