Malachite, Colorado, (Inc. in the Territory of Arizona; offices in St. Louis, MO), 1902, 400 Shares I/U Capital Stock. Black print without border, title at center with impressive golden-brown bull head in frame at center; copper embossed seal at bottom left; S/N 155. XF to AU condition. Printed by W.H. Kistler Stationery Co., Denver. The Copper Bull Mining Company was incorporated in the Territory of Arizona in 1901 with principal offices in St. Louis, Missouri, to work the Copper Bull property on Pass Creek near Malachite in Huerfano County, Colorado. Earlier work at the mine in 1882–83 had reportedly consumed $30,000 in development costs. By 1909, the U.S. Geological Survey noted the company carried out considerable development work, though without recorded shipments, reflecting the speculative nature of many early 20th-century mining ventures.
