Rare. Pioneer District, Pinal County, Arizona (printed under title). Inc. in New York. No. 317, issued for 500 shares to A.H. Porter on April 28th, 1882. Signed by vice-president McKenzie and secretary James P. Foster. Not cancelled. Folds, pinholes, clean. 4 x 9" Printed by Hamilton Bank Note Co., NY. The "South Silver King" was not sold in the Garbani Collection, though other Silver King certificates were. The Silver King was discovered in March 1875 and was described in detail by Raymond (1876): "Great quantities of nearly pure silver is found in the little black nuggets in the quartz; these nuggets are soft, have coherence like bar-lead, and can be chewed between the teeth without feeling any grit... The Silver King has been examined by experts from San Francisco and it is said that a company will soon be formed in that city (where the ore has attracted much attention) to work it on a scale commensurate with its size and richness."
