Arcadia Mining Company

 Cripple Creek, Colorado

The Arcadia Mining Company certificate has an extremely rare full-certificate vignette.   The company owned properties in Poverty Gulch and on Gold Hill.   This certificate is highly desirable as it is signed by Sam Strong,  one of the most intriguing and arguably the shortest-lived of all well-known Cripple Creek millionaires.   Strong was shot dead at point-blank range in the Newport Saloon by Grant Crumley in an argument over a gambling debt.
