Cochise County stock. Incorporated in 1879 issued to W. Stevenson for five hundred shares. Signed by Wilson Lloyd and treasurer and Wm. H. Whipple as president. Printed by Lehman and Bolton, Phili. 9 x 11.5", uncancelled. Large vignette of Girard on left and mining scene at right. Lloyd is the same treasurer as several other Tombstone companies as well including Intervener, and Cincinnati where Whipple was also president. Girard was one of the first mines to build there own mill in camp in Tombstone. Mines had gone deeper in their search for silver gold ores. Once they hit the level 500 or so, the water table table was encountered, and pumps had to be installed to rid the mines of water. The Girard company was the first to build a mill using their own water, but in the aftermath, was unable to locate, economic quantities of paying ore. The company milled ores from the Contention and Tranquility to help pay for the mill. Then in 1884 they were successful in finding good ore for themselves, which lasted about a year. They sold the mill to the Tombstone M&MC in 1886, who moved their facilities there from Charleston. The company invested in other mines around Arizona whithout much success. {red: Tenney. Burchard 1881 also gave it a write-up} Scarce.
