The International Mining Company stock certificate, No. 191. Issued for 100 shares on January 31, 1888. Very ornate gold border, green background, black print on white. Vignette of 3 underground minters examining ore sample. Large "$10" underprinted in gold. Very little could be found on this company, but as the vignette is of underground miners this company may be related to lead or zinc production. From the University of Kansas: Kansas and its neighbors have a long history of producing coal and other rocks and minerals of economic value. Coal was mined in northeastern Kansas as early as 1827. In the late 1800s, mines in Osage, Bourbon, Cherokee and Crawford counties supplied fuel for railroads. In addition to coal, the era saw thriving zinc and lead mines in far southeastern Kansas. The Tri-State mining district, which includes the southeast tip of Kansas and parts of Oklahoma and Missouri, was once one of the major zinc and lead mining areas in the world [https://today.ku.edu/2022/06/10/kansas-geological-survey-receives-grant-study-critical-minerals-mining-potential-region].
