Silver Plume Mining Corp. - Colorado Mining Stock Certificate
Inv# MS2545 Stock
Stock printed by Goes.
First settled in 1859 with the discovery of gold, Georgetown would later become one of Colorado’s most important silver mining towns of the 1870s. The Georgetown-Silver Plume mining district was centered in Georgetown, where the money was invested, evident by the abundance of Victorian-era homes that line the streets of downtown. Soon a local newspaper developed, the Barton House opened, banks thrived, plus saloons and pool halls to entertain the miners.
As part of the Georgetown-Silver Plume National Historic District, which includes Silver-plume, Georgetown, and the Georgetown Loop Historic Mining & Railroad Park, Georgetown still stands today for its rich mining heritage with the Hamill House Museum, the Alpine Hose Firehouse, and the Georgetown Loop Railroad, a scenic railroad built in 1884 that still serves passengers today.

A stock certificate is issued by businesses, usually companies. A stock is part of the permanent finance of a business. Normally, they are never repaid, and the investor can recover his/her money only by selling to another investor. Most stocks, or also called shares, earn dividends, at the business's discretion, depending on how well it has traded. A stockholder or shareholder is a part-owner of the business that issued the stock certificates.
