No. 13 for 1 share to D.D. Hook. Dated March 25, 1865. "Canada East" A great gold certificate for early eastern Canadian gold. Choice vignette of a placer gold scene with log cabins. The Famine River gold area appears to have been discovered in late 1863. By August, 1864, there were about 200 miners working the area's claims. This company began the incorporation process in May, 1864 which may have been completed by July. By march, 1865, there were 700 feet of operations along the river. "Works on a large scale to be prosecuted by an American Company ... a road from the falls to Lake Etchemin would be very necessary." No other news on the company appears through 1870. Rare. Herzog Company. Famine River Canada
