Wow! This is one of the most striking mining stocks we've ever seen. No. 20, issued for 10 shares to Julius Georgii on April 7th, 1866 in Philadelphia. Signed by president Geo. P. Fisher and secretary Wm. Kite. Not cancelled. Highly illustrated brown border with mining and smelting vignettes along the bottom, an allegorical woman on the left, and a prospector on the right. Company title and text printed in black. Stein & Jones Lith, Philadelphia. One 25 cent IR adhesive stamp with tied cancel at bottom center. Deep folds, very clean. 6.5 x 9.5" All of our information for this company comes from a very detailed advertisement of theirs in the Oct. 25th, 1865 Philadelphia Age newspaper. The mining claims were in the Reese River Mining District, Lander County, Nevada, one-half mile from Austin on Lander Hill. They claim the Revenue Ledge has provided the richest ores in Nevada, and cite assay results from Theall & Co. and Orlando Jennings showing assays of up to $11,000 in silver per ton. The ad also features analysis and praise of the property by Professor CP Williams and mining engineer J.E. Clayton, who says "other mines may surpass it in quantity of ore, but none can surpass it in quality." Company president George P. Fisher was nominated by President Lincoln on March 10, 1863, to a seat on the newly created Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. He was confirmed by the United States Senate and received his commission the next day. In 1867, Fisher presided over the trial of John Surratt, one of the Lincoln assassination conspirators. In May 1, 1870, Fisher resigned as judge to accept an appointment as United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, serving until 1875. Ken Prag Collection
