# 54 for 1100 shares to Tiburcio(?) Parrott. Signed by RE (?) and president Parrott. Datelined San Francisco 1874. Incorporated Oct. 2d, 1873. Pen and punch cancelled. Tiburcio Parrott was an active member of the Lake County quicksilver mining community. "One of the laws passed under this provision prohibited corporations holding state charters from employing "any Chinese or Mongolian," and established heavy penalties for violation of the law. The legislation had an immediate and paralyzing effect on the quicksilver mines, which depended almost wholly on Chinese for their underground labor. The president of the Sulphur Bank Mine, Tiburcio Parrott, deliberately defied the law so he would be arrested and tried. In the test case against him, the Circuit Court on March 22, 1880, handed down a strong opinion that held the law to be in contravention of both the Burlingame Treaty and the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution."
