Cert. #1414, issued to Oswald Kirkby for 100 shares in 1907. Signed by Donald B. Gillis as president and James H. Monteath as ast. Secretary. Vignette of miners working underground. Beautifully engraved certificate by American Bank Note, Philadelphia. The company incorporated in South Dakota in 1906. Directors of the company included Tasker Oddie, Malcolm McDonald and C.B. Zabriskie. The company was controlled through ownership of 95% of the stock by the Greenwater Copper Mines & Smelters Co. According to the 1907 Copper Handbook, the company held 21 claims at Greenwater with ore bodies from 8' to 200' in width giving assays of 10 to 25% copper. One of the shafts was the Copper Glance No. 2, with a depth of 125'. The main shaft of 700' depth, was to be sunk to 1,600 ft. with crosscuts at the 400' and 500' level. Stevens commented that the company was "systematically touted, and vastly overestimated during the Greenwater boom", but was one of the few properties of promise in the district. The company employed 40 men in 1907. VF. Uncancelled.
