General Washington Mining Company stock issued for 1000 shares to C.W. Martin and signed by Webb Parkinson as president. Colorful vignette of General George Washington in full dress uniform. The company operated at Goldfield, Nevada. Webb Parkinson was a broker in Goldfield who made his fortune and married Bonita, one of the most popular dancers in the tenderloin district. Webb's fortunes faltered during the crash of 1907. He then was trying to make his comeback. He was suspected, properly so, of cheating on his wife. He took the bullets from Bonita's gun fearing what she might do. But she had spent long enough in the tough environs of Goldfield to be smart enough to buy new bullets. One night when Webb walked in, she unloaded the gun on Webb. All except the last bullet which she left for herself! (Goldfield by Zanjani).Great piece with a colorful wild west story. The certificate has two fold lines and is uncancelled.
