Gila. Globe. Iron Cap Copper Co. Incorporated in Maine. Issued to Gertrude Robinson for 1 share, cert #2997, in 1917. Signed by Frank P. Knight president and Roland H. Knight treasurer. No vignette. Green border with red underprint. Uncancelled. Printer - ABN. 8 x 11. The company controlled the Iron Cap and Bird groups located outside Globe. In 1919, the Arizona Commercial Co brought two suits against Iron Cap for wrongful ore extraction and the other for costs of dewatering the shafts at Arizona Commercial. The costly trials lasted until 1926 with the outcome in Iron Cap’s favor. The company and management were able to stay even or slightly profitable from 1919 through 1926 when the ore was running out. The mine had to close and most of the machinery was dismantled and taken to the Christmas Mine located 50 miles outside Globe. The Iron Cap owned a major interest in the Christmas Copper Co and was concentrating on this property by 1931. Iron Cap also had a 63% interest in Mineral Products Co which was one of the principal producers of feldspar (Mines Handbook, 1931, p.342-344). Extremely fine. Est. $25-50
