Unused stock certificate, but rare. Battle Mountain dateline, 188-. Inc. Sept. 1879. This railroad's formation is a great story. The Manhattan Silver Mining Co. of Austin's secretary, M. J. Ferrell, was also the state senator for Lander County. Ferrell was able to assign $200,000 in 1875 in Lander County bonds to complete the railroad with a five year deadline. On the eve of the deadline passing, the crews had only brought the rails to within two mile of the Austin limits. Knowing they would lose the $200,000 if it didn't reach Austin by the next day, town officials held a late night meeting and extended the town limits by two miles.
