Owned the Silver Cliff mine with assays $20-75/ton. Large masses of ceragyrite (75% silver chloride) of this ore were mined near the surface works which yielded 30-50 oz/ton. At the time of these certificates, Silver Cliff had a population of 5,000. Alex M. Cassidy lived in Colorado for some time before becoming president of this company. In 1862, he purchased oil claims at Oil Springs, Fremont County from Gabriel Bowen. Cassidy sunk six wells that were moderately profitable. The timing of these certificates matches the boom period for the Silver Cliff Mining District.
