Fabulous! Mining Works, Clear Creek Co. (printed bottom). Inc. in New York. No. 54, issued for 30 shares to Charles L. Kennedy on May 10, 1865. Signed by the president O.B. Thomas and treasurer D. Hasbach. Not cancelled. Very attractive design with ornate border and logo and multiple vignettes: Goddess of Gold vignette at left, one of the all-time great mining stock illustrations; prospectors working at the surface (upper right); and Native American hunting a buffalo on horseback (bottom center). Printed by Major & Knapp, NY. Folds, many creases, and toning. No revenue stamp present. According to Hollister (1867), the company's works were located above Spanish Bar on the north side of the creek where the Lincoln Ledge crosses to become the Oro. They have an adit at creek level that has been run in 135 feet to intersect a shaft 65 feet deep. The ore vein is 8-10 inches in width, with 50-60 tins of ore being taken out. A substantial dam is giving them 900 feet of water power with a 550 ft.long flume race, 15 feet of fall, and a 100 horse centervent turbine wheel. Their stone mill has 20 stamps, two Freiberg pans, and a Crosby & Thompson desulphurizer. D.B. Myres serves as agent for the company. It is a "promising mine" [pg.235-36].
