Very early. $100 bond no. 68, issued in August 1867 in New York. Signed by president FE Tucker and secretary Armitage. Not cancelled. Black border and print, orange seal, and elaborate mining vignette. No printer listed. Seventeen coupons still attached. 20 x 16" Folds, very clean. Not mentioned in Hollister or Corbett. According to an article in the Daily Central City Register (February 12, 1869), the company owned the Minnesota Lode in Russell Gulch. They have driven a shaft 133ft. In the west end of the drift, there are more than 5 ft. of sulphuret ore of iron. Assays are $87 per ton. Formerly, the mine produced gold from decomposed surface workings. "The mine is dry and comfortable and properly worked." Russell Gulch is located about two miles southwest of Central City, Colorado. It was founded by William Greeneberry Russell when he discovered placer gold deposits in June 1859. This was the start of the Pikes Peak Gold Rush.
