20 pages. Blue paper cover. Contains the incorporation papers and by-laws. Gilpin County. Mills and mining works near Central City, Colorado. Located in the Russell and Nevada Mining Districts, within two miles of Central City. Encompasses all or part of 43 mining claims, including the Bob-tail, Rot Gut, Vulcan, and more. The company claims an average ore grade of $460 per ton, "according to the government assays of over five hundred lodes in the district." Though they state :two thousand feet is no unusual depth for mines working in America or Europe," this was very unusual. At this point, the Comstock mines had not reached the 2,200 level. None of the mines are listed in Hollister 1867 or Wallihan 1871. 8.5" x 5" with a few horizontal folds, otherwise very fine.
