Rare! Issued by The Santa Clara Mining Company to Edward W, Clymer, 100 shares at $100 per. It's signed by secretary (illegible) and R.T. Lugar, president. There's a scenic vignette of mine operations, a 25-cent revenue stamp affixed and it's dated May 2, 1866. Please see photos for more detail and condition. The location is difficult to determine. We did find one history (local school history online) that talked about a Santa Clara Mine. "Back in the early mission days, Father Junipero Serra and the other Padres at the Mission Santa Clara, visited the three tribes of Indians that lived in the area. Gradually the area and the creek became known as Guadalupe by the Padres. There is also a quicksilver mine near the creek, called Guadalupe Mines. In 1846 it was mined by the Indians until 1856. From 1856-1875, it was mined by the Santa Clara Mining Company. Then for the next ten years, the Guadalupe Mining Company mined it. This is the only reference to a Santa Clara Mine in 1865 that we found.
