Issued 1919 Ontario Silver MC stock with beehive vignette. Very rare! The Ontario silver mine was a George Hearst associated property near Park City, Utah. Hearst developed the mine with partners Haggin and Tevis. The mine was not initially productive and Hearst drained considerable amounts of his fortune to develop it. It was one of his four big Western properties, the others being the Ophir on the Comstock, the Homestake in South Dakota, and the Anaconda in Montana. It eventually produced $50 million worth of silver and lead. The Ontario company's mill was also the birthplace of two significant hydrometallurgical processes: the Russell Process and the Cyanide Process.
