This is one of the most impressive stock certificates you will ever see. Eight gold nugget vignettes. Three miners with a gold nugget. Vial with gold inside. Etc.! Number 3394 to Miss Annie E Price for 84 shares. 1908. Measures 15" x 13 3/4". Signed by J. Houghton as President. Incorporated in South Dakota. Soiling throughout, some soiling along crease margins, small tears at folds. Annie E. Price (1833-1910) is possibly Benjamin Price's daughter from the UK. The company was in British Columbia, Canada. It was a successor to the British American Gold Mining & Trading Co which was organized five or six years ago for the purpose of working several claims in the Lightning Creek district of British Columbia. Results fell very far short of the predictions made by the promoters and the company came in for considerable criticism by reason of the fact that it had not been managed in a way which promised very well for stockholders. [Still] if given a careful and conservative management, a thing with which the old company was not blessed, the Great Cariboo Gold Co may make out all right in time. But in view of what has happened in the past we hardly look for such a result. [United States Investor, 1905] Date: 1908 Location: Lightning Creek District, zCanada HWAC# 55043
