Cert. #A1399, issued to Oswald Kirkby for 100 shares. Signed by Donald B. Gillis as vice president and the asst. secretary. Not cancelled. Orange border, black print, and underground drilling vignette. ABN. Tasker Oddie was one of the company directors. Greenwater Copper Mines & Smelters controlled 95% of the stock of the company. This company actually had potential and was developing steadily in 1908, with 40 men employed. The company had 5 shafts in the Greenwater district including the Copper Glance No. 2. The main shaft was 700', with plans to go to 1600' with crosscuts at the 400' and 500' levels. The mine was systematically touted during the Greenwater boom, but the Copper Handbook noted that the company "is one of the few properties of promise in the district. This is the only engraved certificate from Death Valley that we can think of other than the Montgomery Shoshone (also a hugely successful mine). Folds, some discoloration. 6.25 x 10.25"
