Issued 1902 stock and bond, Tombstone Cons. Mine. Both signed by E. B. Gage, a major player in Tombstone mining, and he provided the second round of bail money for Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp during the Spicer hearing which occurred in the wake of the gunfight at OK Corral. The Tombstone Consolidated was a consolidation of all the great Tombstone mines by E.B. Gage. From the Pacific Miner in 1903, “The work of the Tombstone Consolidated Mines Company, the project which best illustrates Arizona’s enduring mineral wealth, progresses satisfactorily. The Tombstone mines were abandoned years ago because they could not be profitably worked under individual management and with old methods. For years, the property lay idle, and Tombstone was cited as a reproach to the durability of Arizona’s mines. But the owners of the mines, having consolidated, a practical plan for unwatering the workings was evolved, and there has been no cessation of work since then. The water is pumped out to the 100 foot-level, and excavations are now made for a great pump at this point, which will have a capacity of 1.2 million gallons daily. The water in the big shaft is under control… Ore shipments to the smelter go out daily. “Offices in Prescott, AZ and New York City. Two vignettes of men underground and a millsite on the stock.
