Location: Cerro Gordo Mining District, Inyo County, California. Inc. July 16th, 1889 under the laws of the state of Nevada. Dateline Carson City, Nev., August 12th, 1889. Early No. 9. Issued for 1000 shares to T.R. Hofer, Trustee. Signed by Hofer as president and Peters as secretary. Reverse is signed by Hofer. Pen cancelled in red ink, Sept. 25, 1890. Condition: very good overall. Folds, toning along upper right corner. Rare to see certificates from this company that have been issued. Hofer is a familiar name for Nevada collectors; if you have Comstock banking documents, you've likely seen his signature. He was an important banking figure in Carson City, working at the Carson Savings Bank (later Bullion and Exchange Bank) and Carson City Mint (first as a clerk, then as the superintendent). The 1891 Financial and Mining Record notes that the Newton Mining Company "will soon be taking out large quantities of ore." Date 1889 Cerro Gordo, CA hwac 20822
