Inc. in Pennsylvania. No. 2051, issued to Theodore Walker for 100 shares on Sept. 28th, 1852. Signed by Pearson Servill (president) and L. Alter (secretary). Great mining vignette at top: miners working a placer claim with a cabin and bear in the background. Printer: Gratlan. Part of John C. Freemont's Mariposa Estate and one of the first Fremont leases to Americans. This appears to be the first of a series of mining investments by Philadelphia parties in Western mines (see: Philadelphia & Arizona, Philadelphia & Nevada, Philadelphia & Montana, etc.). This is one of only three mining ventures of the 1850s that was "hands on" for Fremont. 7.5' x 9.75" in fine condition. (Prag Collection)
