THE WHISKEY HILL MINING COMPANY - Incorporated Nov. 18th, 1896 Under
the Laws of the State of Washington - I'm guessing this company didn't
last too long since I could find no real info about it. There is one
interesting thing I noticed - the date line says Ellensburg but on the
corporate seal it is spelled Ellensburgh (with an "h"). Kittitas County, Washington. No tears...
just a few folds. Price - $80.00 SOLD
1917 ELIOMACHAN MINES - Incorporated (in 1917) Under the Laws of the State of Washington - Stock # 3.
This company is kind of a mystery. The corporate seal reads 1917 -
1967. This must have been an error. I did find one small reference to
the company in some Washington public records dated 1919. L. B. Cornell secretary and Edward D. King president. Price - $39.00
