Western Mining and Land Stock & Bond Certificate Catalogue

A listing of Western U.S. mining and land related stocks and bonds


 

 

 

 

The American West.  It is full of mystery, beauty, myths, abundant land, and mining.  What first brought men to explore the Western regions of America was the bounty of furs and unexplored territory and as exploration continued, vast riches of common and precious metals were discovered.   While the lands were used for farming, logging, and ranching, mining is what really brought the American West to the forefront of the minds of the common man.  With the thought of "striking it rich", there was a massive influx of people moving to the mountainous regions of the Western U.S.    Metals were discovered in nearly every region of the West and mines were sunk, towns built and lives redefined.   As surface ores were exhausted, deep mining became necessary to extract the vast ore reserves of gold, silver, copper and other metals.  This was an expensive venture which required capital more than one man could often afford.  Companies were organized, capital was raised, and men were hired to search deep into the earth for these riches.  For the collector today, this has created a wealth of beautiful and unique certificates representing that influx of capital. 

We are pleased to present the following Western mining and land stock and bond certificates for your collection from Alaska, Arizona, California, Montana, Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming !
