Oops Maybe? Silver Cable Mining Company printed over Gold Run Gulch Mines Inc.Stock Certificate.
Not sure if this was a mistake or intentional. Possibly one company purchased another or some printer didn’t get his morning coffee.
Gold Run was an Idaho certificate, Silver Cable was a Montana certificate. Look closely, this is perplexing.
Please enlighten me if you should know?
My basic research found this information:
Silver Cable Mining Company
Comment (Environmental Factors):
THE MINE WAS LOCATED ON A MOUNTAINSIDE WELL ABOVE (800 TO 1,000 FEET) THE CABLE CREEK DRAINAGE; HOWEVER, NO SAMPLES WERE COLLECTED DUE TO INACCESSIBILITY OF THE WORKINGS. THERE APPEARED TO BE A GOOD VEGETATIVE COVER ON THE THE DUMPS AND NO DIRECT MIGRATION ROUTES TO SURFACE WATER. THE LITERATURE REPORTED THAT A SMALL MILL WAS CONSTRUCTED FOR THIS MINE BUT NEVER OPERATED. NO EVIDENCE OF THE MILL WAS FOUND DURING THE INVESTIGATION. ONE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS MINE OPENING (ADIT) WAS IDENTIFIED AT THE SITE.
Gold Run Gulch Mining Company
Gold Run Gulch Mines Inc. Stock Certificate. Wallace Idaho early 1900s 10 cent
This 10 cent par value stock certificate appears to have never been assigned.
Please review photos for details. I know little about this type of item but do realize it’s another interesting artifact that should be preserved where it’s appreciated!

Located in Gold Run Gulch approximately 2.3 miles (3.7 kilometers) ESE of Kellogg, Idaho. This property was mined in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
