The Old Dominion Mining Company was located outside of Keystone, Nye County, Nevada in Tybo (Hot Creek) Mining District. The town of Keystone was established as a company town for the mining company and never truly established itself as anything more than a mining camp. The population stayed low, never reaching any higher than 50, but that was enough to support two saloons. After the initial mining rush of 1867, the camp was mostly silent until the discovery of a rich silver deposit made in 1910. The Old Dominion Mining Company was incorporated in 1867 under the laws of Pennsylvania. The company offices were located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This is a rare certificate because it has been financed by an eastern company in a time when it was nearly impossible for eastern financier companies to enter into business in the western mining interests. (Information on Keystone from http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/nv/keystone.htm). The bond has a decorative border and the terms of the bond, is Number 60 and is for the amount of $500. There is a vignette of 4 miners in the top center of the certificate. A company seal and the signatures of the treasurer, Chas. Williams, and the president, A. O. Hiester, are present on the bottom. The second part of this document includes six coupons at $15 each. One has the date of 1868, two 1869, two 1870, and one 1871. Very nice condition.
