Very early #19 for 7,000 shares to William Ward. Nice vignette in the lower right-hand corner of a miner swinging a pick with the text "Bodie Dist./ Mono County, Cal." Printed by Britton & Rey, San Francisco. Reverse is signed by William Ward and has some pencilled tallying in tabular form at one end. Measures 9 3/16" x 4."

It "ranks as among the earliest locations made in Bodie'" and the "title is complete and unquestioned."
