This item is hand signed by the Company's President ( Jos. G Joseph ) and Secretary ( Emmett Eliot ) and is over 83 years old. Property consisted of two patented claims on 12 acres.

The company was reorganized under the name MacNamara Mining and Milling Co. shortly afterwards. In 1914 the property operated 8 months, processing 15, 776 tons of ore.
