Early number 10 for 11 shares to Durbin Van Vleck. Datelined San Francisco 1863. Signed by M Allison Wheeler and president SH Parker. Incorporated Aug. 12, 1863. Location at Big Creek, Lander Co. N. T. 'Reese River' in green underprint. Two vignettes: pioneers finding the promised land and a contemplative Native American. Valentine & Co. printer. 25c Certificate Revenue stamp. Dog ears and a rip top center that has been taped on back. Looks like museum quality tape as it has not bled through. Company named for the God of Light. On December 10, 1863 a newspaper article named it one of the best mines in Big Creek. Big Creek district was just outside Reese River district and eventually became part of that district. Durbin Van Vleck was a celebrated San Francisco wood block carver and had a hand in several Nevada stocks. M Allison Wheeler was a San Francisco specialist in Reese River stocks. He would move to Cerro Gordo where his assets were said to be quite valuable when he passed away in 1908. Historical notes on Van Vleck, Wheeler, Big Creek Mining District, and the mine included.
