Number 270 for 35 shares to George Keys? Datelined San Francisco 1864. Signed by secretary Francis O'Ferrall and president John McHugh. Incorporated Sept. 7th, 1863. Mines located a White Mountain District, Mono County, Cal. The Daily Alta reports the mine is on the Owens River. This makes this a rare Mono County 1864 stock certificate locate in California. Two eagle and shield vignettes and one small miner emerging from a tunnel pusing an ore cart. Towne & Bacon printer. Not cancelled. red underprint 'White Mountain.' Discoloration in three spots. By September 14, 1863 a 10c assessment had already been levied. Although the stock lists this company in Mono County, California, the White Mountain District lies in Esmeralda County, Nevada. At the time this stock was incorporated, there was still controversy whether Aurora was in Nevada or California. This district was located in the northern White Mountains in the vicinity of Montgomery Pass. Although this district is not often referred to as the White Mountain District, the White Mountain district of DeGroot (1863) included the present Buena Vista district in Esmeralda County, Nevada, as well as a large, adjacent area in California. Considering this district embraces California and that the mine was on the Owens River, this would lead us to suspect this is indeed a rare Mono, County, California 1864 mining stock.
