The Little Annie Mining Company, inc. in Colorado, Cert. no. 230 issued to Geo W. Thatcher for a astonishing 12,000 shares on Apr 29, 1891 in Aspen, Colorado. Signed by Clark Wheeler (president) and A. Peck (secretary). Signed by Thatcher on reverse on Jan 30, 1897; countersigned on left by Peck and Matheson as treasurer.
Purple print on white paper, no printer is listed. Company seal lower left.

Properties located in the Roaring Fork Mining District. The Wheeler signature is significant because Wheeler founded and named the town of Aspen. Wheeler arrived in “Ute City” in 1880 and purchased several mining claims. He surveyed a new town site and formed a town company. He owned several businesses in Aspen and promoted it heavily. In 1891, the Engineering and Mining Journal notes that “the experiments in dressing the low-grade ore … were successful” and that 5,000 tons of ore on the Little Annie dump should assay at 12-18 ozs. silver per ton. 5.25 x 9.5".
