Proof. Proof of vignette, title and text, no border. Vignette of miner walking with mine in background. On April 8, 1901, M. Guggenheim Sons gained control of the American Smelting and Refining Company. Daniel Guggenheim was appointed Chairman of the Board, Isaac Guggenheim as Treasurer, and Isaac, Solomon, Murry and Simon Guggenheim to both the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee. Along with the Guggenheim Exploration Company (Guggenex) that had been formed in June 1899, both the Securities Company and American Smelters Securities Company played important roles in the development of Utah Copper. Utah Copper was in desperate need of capital to underwrite their huge excavations. In 1905, an arrangement was made between Utah Copper and the Guggenheim interests. Guggenex would underwrite $3 million in bonds, including a 25% interest in Utah Copper. In return, the management of UC would come under Guggenex control, with John Hays Hammond as managing director. The arrangement between the Guggenheims and Utah Copper established M. Guggenheim Sons as Copper Kings. In addition, they played a major role in developing Nevada's copper industry. Historic certificate. 2 found in archive and possibly the only 2 available. RBNC. VG, handling and 1 inch piece missing from top left border.
