Prospectus, Board of Trustees, Officers, and By-laws of the Cascade Mining Company
New York: Wynkoop & Hallenbeck, 1876. 20pp. Original grey printed wrappers. Very minor wear. Near fine. Item #413
A scarce prospectus for a silver mine owned by the Cascade Mining Company in Clear Creek County, Colorado. The first section gives a history of the development and profitability of the mine, together with its situation. The silver lode was discovered in 1868 by one James G. Thorn, and the prospectus states that from “the first developments made upon this mine until the present time, every day’s work has continued to show its constantly increasing value.” There are also several testimonials from mining journals. The final section of text contains the by-laws of the company, which is incorporated in New York City. A list of the board of trustees follows the title page. We locate a single copy, at the Denver Public Library.
