Two vignettes of sailing ships and a miner working the sluice box. Large underprint in orange of the "wild goose" and of a miner working a sluice box at right. This is certificate #788, issued for 1902 shares in 1905 to Nevada National Bank of S.F. Gold was discovered at Nome in 1898. Charles D. Lane, an experienced mining entrepreneur who had become wealthy from mining enterprises in the Lower 48, paid a sizeable price to buy into the gold rush. He arrived in Nome in 1899 and established the Wild Goose Mining and Trading Company with a capitalization of over $1 million. A prominent Nome resident, he was president of the Company which had rich operations in the Anvil Creek area, and he was instrumental in building and operating the regions first railroad. In 1905, Charles Lane sold most of his holdings in the Wild Goose Mining and Trading Company, because of dissatisfaction with his partners, although he apparently retained a cordial feeling toward the company (Nome News 1905). This certificate was issued after Lane and signed by his successor as president. Tiny dollar sign cancels thru share line and signatures. Info from encyberpedia, BLM and oldcompany.com. Printed by Britton & Rey, S.F. View to inspect condition. Very rare.
