Vignette of an eagle holding an American flag (center). Printer: Ford Mayer and Co., New York. Measures 9 ¾" x 6 ¾." Condition: certificate is trimmed tight, but otherwise is very fine. This company is known to collectors today for their Gold Eagle ingots. They owned 650 ft. on the Ben Franklin Lode, 350 ft. on the Knapp Lode, and had a small mill on Lyon's Creek. The company got into trouble when it was made known that corporate officers received a large salary in 1865 ($35,000). Consequently, they had to replace the officers in 1866 [ref: Hollister's Mine of Colorado, 1867].City: Black HawkCounty: GilpinState: CODate: 1865
