    Cert #493 issued to F.S. Bond for 1000 shares in 1883. Signed by president Albert Merritt and treasurer Chas Craig. Small vignette top center of two miners working underground. 8x10. Tenney (1927, p123) reports that this mine was acquired by a Philadelphia company in 1883 under the management of C. R. Craige. A small smelter was built, but shut down due to faulty construction after making only one run. It appears unlikely that the company recovered, or if it did, made little production from the property. The Arizona Bureau of Mines reported in 1974 that the Gunsight mine was the only major producer of metal from the district.
