Gold Hill District, Storey County, N.T. (printed upper left). Inc. March 19, 1864. This stock has a territorial dateline (Gold Hill, N.T.) but wasn't issued until post-statehood in 1868. No. 94, issued for 10 shares to Wilson Dunlap. Signed by the president (N.S. Phils?) and secretary S.W. Chubbuck. Not cancelled. Eagle and allegorical vignette. Printed by Gold Hill News Print. 20 and 5 cent IR adhesive stamps attached on the left with large stain (possibly from the glue?). What is special about this certificate is that it also has a red 25 cent Nevada adhesive revenue stamp which are not common! Please inspect photo for condition. The Overman was staked at the beginning of the Comstock Rush in 1859 and first worked in the early 1860s. It was located next to the Segregated Belcher Mine. Operations were difficult in the 1870s due to flooding problems. The Overman Shaft was one of a series of shafts used in the 1870s to try and reach the very lowest depths of the Comstock Lode. It became an open pit mine in the 1940s. According to the 1870 Nevada census, Wilson Dunlap was a bookkeeper. Even more interesting, his name pops-up in the Jan. 19, 1874 Sacramento Daily Union: "Wilson Dunlap, the absconding stock-broker of Gold Hill, returned to his old stamping ground on the 14th instant, involuntarily." S.W. Chubbuck appears as a mining secretary for other companies and also operated the Post Office store in Gold Hill. HWAC# 62913 Date: Location: Gold Hill, Nevada
