Not in Cox 1998. $50 8% gold bond. 14.25" x 9.5". #1125. Bald eagle vignette. According to the Mines Register Vol. 14 (1920), the company's "purpose is to provide power, drainage, light, ventilation, as well as an outlet for the ore and waste rock of the many mines within working distance of its course" and that it was similar to the Argo or Newhouse Tunnel at Idaho Springs (or perhaps the Sutro Tunnel?). The tunnel would cut through, at great depth, veins and ore deposits that cross Democrat, Columbia, Republican, Brown, and Sherman Mountains at Georgetown.
