Portland Gold Mining Co 1915 Stock Certificate w/ Frank G. Peck Sig* #7822
Frank Gardner Peck (1862 - 1922) In April, 1892, Mr. Peck went to the Cripple Creek camp, where he found the ground all stakes and claims being developed. He engaged in the brokerage business and invested his profits in desirable claims in Cripple Creek. His first investment was in what became the Bobtail mine No. 2, which became part of the Portland Mining Company's property. About the same time he acquired an interest in the Black Diamond. Bobtail No. 2 was sold on bond lease to the Portland, but after one payment of the syndicate, the other payments were forfeited, owing to the amount of litigation in which they were involved, and it was arranged that the balance of the bond be taken in stock, on condition that the syndicate give one-fifteenth to the parties having paid in. This left Mr. Peck a stockholder in the company. In May, 1894, he became a director and assistant secretary of the company, and in February, 1897, was elected secretary. In February, 1898, he was also made treasurer, which position he filled in addition to that of secretary. In 1892 he purchased rather heavily of stock in the Anchoria-Leland Mining and Milling Company, on Gold Hill. He bought an interest in the Midget and surrounding properties. He was vice-president, general manager and secretary of the Midget Gold Mining and Milling Company, and was interested in many other claims. Mr. Peck was recognized as one of the most successful promoters in Colorado.
His signature can be found on the "President" field, lower right on the front of this certificate.
