Item Description
Approximately 10.5" x 8.5"1907 - Skidoo Townsite and Mining Company Stock Certificate - In California but incorporated under the laws of the Territory of Arizona.
Very scarce certificate from Skidoo. Another example (or perhaps it was this one) sold for $183 in Holobird Auction on 17 December 2020 as Lot 1080. The lot description read in part: "Located at the top of the Panamint Range and within the Wild Rose mining district. We don't believe we have ever had a stock certificate from Skidoo. Not in Filer. The original 23 claims at Skidoo were discovered in 1906 and were soon controlled by E. A. (Bob) Montgomery [who] also controlled the famous Montgomery Shoshone. He paid a handsome some for these claims and they became the Skidoo Mine Company. . .. Matt Hovek was brought in to manage the Skidoo mine. . .. A townsite was quickly laid out and became controlled by W. R. Wharton. . .." Hovek and Wharton have signed this certificate.
Skidoo was typical of the Death Valley boom towns established in the early 1900s; it depended entirely upon the Skidoo Mine's output to exist. The mine operated between 1906 and 1917 and during that time produced more than $1.5 million of gold (over $45.5 million in today's dollars).
In nice shape.
