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.

Cripple
Creek and Colorado Mining and Milling 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.

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. Certificate is in VF condition.
