Datelined San Francisco 1866. Signed by John M Burnett(?) and president Charles Lindley(?). 25c Warehouse Revenue stamp. Printed by Towne & Bacon. No cancelled. Wrinkled, vertical and horizontal folds and fading. Still a very special stock certificate whose date of incorporation will remain one of the earliest! Original trustees were TJ Andrews, JD WIlson, Joseph Lambert, George O Whitney and William M Stewart. Stewart would become the most influential citizen as lawyer for most of the major mining companies on the Comstock. The Daily Alta California of July 13, 1860 lists the following Comstock mining companies as the earliest to incorporate in San Francisco: Washoe, Chollar, Ophir, Buckeye, Gould & Curry, Scorpion, Yankee Silver and Sierra Nevada. Many others are active, according to the paper, but have not yet incorporated! Prag collection City: Virginia City State: Nevada Date: 1866 (1860) HWAC# 80363
