Arizona Mining Stock Certificates

1917 SUPERSTITION CONSOLIDATED MINING COMPANY - Incorporated Under the Laws of Arizona - Larger than average certificate with a great picture, showing what is apparently an early view of the mining operation in the hills of arizona. The company worked 7 claims total, the properties ranged from Maricopa County to Pinal County. The ore was gold, and was claimed to assay from $3 to $48 per ton. Small amounts of copper were also present.

1910 GREAT BEAR MINING COMPANY - Incorporated (in 1909) Under the Laws of Arizona - Rare certificate with a great name! It contains a number of vignettes that I have not seen before. Mining lamps are pictured above the stock number & number of shares. The main picture shows a detailed view of an early mining camp in the mountains. If I remember correctly, there was a Great Bear Mining District in Arizona, which this company was likely named after. The reverse is also quite ornate. It is larger than average and has a small tear or two along the folds at top... not a big deal - only affecting the border.

1914 DANIELS SAFETY MINING CAP MANUFACTURING COMPANY - Incorporated Under the Laws of Arizona - Stocks from early companies that made specific tools for blasting rock are very tough to find! A blasting cap was used to detonate the main charge in a mine, and as you can imagine needed to be safe and reliable. This certificate was issued to George Daniels and signed by Thomas M. Daniels as president. Notice the two blasting caps shown to the right & left of the title - they are highlighted with shiny copper-colored ink. Certainly a scarce piece of Arizona mining history!

1904 VIZNAGA GOLD MINING COMPANY - Incorporated (in 1902) Under the Laws of Arizona - Beautiful certificate with an unusual name. Quite an interesting vignette for an Arizona mining operation, showing a mountainous region with tropical plants and trees in the foreground.
