Incorporated in 1881 in New Jersey as the Silver King Gold and Silver Mining Co.; changed the name in 1882 to Burro Burro. Certificate number 442 issued to JM Hunt for 1000 shares in 1883. Signed by President Albert Merritt and Treasurer Chas. Craige. Torn bottom left corner. Upper left corner fold. What appears to be staple holes upper left. Still a find looking cert. Printed by Theo. Leonhardt & Sons, Phila. Small vignette top center of two miners working underground. Uncancelled. Black border and print on white paper.8 x 10. Tenney (1927, p. 123) reports that this mine was acquired by a Philadelphia company in 1883 under the management of C. R. Craige. A small smelter was built, but was shutdown due to faulty construction after making only one run. It appears unlikely that the company recovered, or if it did, made little production from the property. The Arizona Bureau of Mines reported in 1974 that the Gunsight mine was the only major producer of metal from the district. A spectacular document with pressed seal. Prag Collection
