Lot of 2. The first certificate has a fantastic hydraulic mining vignette at top center. No. 9, issued for a staggering 280,000 shares (almost 3/4 of the company) to John Jones. Signed by the company president. Pen cancelled on the same day it was issued. Crisp. The January Jones was a rather infamous stock. "In 1907 January Jones was a conspicuous figure in the sordid mining promotion circles of New York City. That was before the post office authorities began to use a stiff broom to clean all these fakers out. Among some of his fly by night promotions were the leasing company bearing his name the Ballarat Gold Mining Co and the Cornishman Lease. The January Jones Leasing & Mining Co went to pieces and a suit was filed against the management in which charges of fraud were made." (1915 Financial World) Two second certificate was issued in Goldfield in 1906. No. 347, issued for 200 shares to Jos. Hoffer. Signed by John Jones as president and Harvey Yeaman as secretary. Stamp cancelled. Ornate logo with many mining vignettes. (Prag Collection) City: Goldfield State: Nevada Date: 1906 ID# 28645
