Cripple Creek Mining Stock &
Bond
Certificate Catalogue
A listing
of Cripple Creek mining stocks and bonds. Cripple Creek stock certificates
are our specialty!
Cripple Creek, Colorado
was a place like no other in the state. Up to the 1890's much of
Colorado's mining wealth came in the form of silver and the nation became
dependant on its silver for coinage; Colorado produced over 50% of the total
silver mined in the U.S. each year. With silver coinage in political
trouble and the onset of the panic of 1893, Colorado's great silver mines had been delivered
a devastating blow. It was Cripple Creek that came to the rescue!
With gold production that was at ever-increasing levels, some thought there to
be an unending supply of gold and the camp grew almost faster than it could keep
up with itself. New capital from the East and around the world flowed into
Cripple Creek. This activity bolstered not only the Colorado economy, but
undoubtedly, the entire nation. Some believe that Cripple Creek helped
pull the entire nation out of the financial panic of '93. The enormous
gold production gained Cripple Creek the name of "Greatest Gold Camp on Earth"!
And until the 1930's it was. The legacy of Cripple Creek lives on today in
an incredible array of collectable and historic stock certificates.

Signed by Irving
Howbert

The Colorado Springs and Cripple District Central Railway was organized in 1899
and ground was broken by Irving Howbert, the companies first President, in
January, 1900. The Standard Gauge main line was built between Colorado
Springs and Cripple Creek, but was born out of the Cripple Creek District
Railway, which ran an electric interurban line between Cripple Creek and
Victor. This company's articles were amended and the name changed to
The Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek District Railway Company.
This new line between Cripple Creek and Colorado Springs would become
known as The Short Line to Cripple Creek. The scenery was
dramatic along the route which Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed so beautiful it
"...Bankrupt the English language."
Also included,

ephemera from the Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek Dist. Railway;
Voucher (1908) signed by J.H. Waters, Freight Bill from

Crystal
Peak Gem Company
Issued / Uncancelled,
1912.
Issued at Cripple
Creek, Colorado.
Gold was not the only
mineral mined in and around Pike's Peak. The mountainous region just
west of the Cripple Creek District holds pockets of amazonite, smoky quarts
and other gems. While this company was not mining gold in
Cripple Creek, it apparently had its offices located in the business
district. Crystal Peak, near Lake George, is a very well known area
(even today) to gem collectors. What this company did with the gems it
mined is not certain, whether for commercial or personal benefit, but it
obviously was locating itself in the busy and well-known Cripple Creek
District to attract business and investors. Certificate is
signed by
Albert Whitmore,
a long-time miner in the area and owner of the Crystal Peak Gem Mines.
This is a unique company with an interesting story in the region.
