Clear Creek County, Colorado (Inc. in New Jersey), 1883. 500 Shares I/U Capital Stock Certificate, Black text with black border, men at work mining at top center. Fine condition, National Bureau of Engraving. The Silver Plume Mine was located in Clear Creek County, and was named for the feathery veins of silver on the mountain where it was situated. It was one of the richest mines in the area until the Panic of 1893 and the resulting decline of the value of silver. A WWI era need for lead, often associated with silver deposits, kept the mine going for a while longer. Today, it is a historic site and often associated with the Georgetown Loop tourist experience in Colorado.
