Nevada County, California. Grass Valley District. Brunswick Consolidated Gold Mining Co. Incorporated in 1890. The property was located on the Mother Lode at Grass Valley and consisted of auriferous quartz in schist and slates. Ore was accessed by a 1250 ft vertical shaft and a 1100 ft decline. Total production between 1893 and 1917 was $1.58 million. (ref. Weed, 1918)
The Brunswick Consolidated Mine was a gold quartz mine located near Grass Valley. The vein averaged about 2 ft in width in bunches and short shoots, with the quartz in ribbon structure and containing a good percentage of sulphurets. It was developed by an 800 ft, three-compartment shaft and a number of levels of workings. Power was supplied by a Pelton wheel. The mine was timbered with sawed timbers and planks. It was a wet mine and an 8 inch Cornish pump was operated year round. (12th and 13th Reports of the State Mineralogist, Calif. State Mining Bureau, pgs. 186 and 237).

A stock certificate is issued by businesses, usually companies. A stock is part of the permanent finance of a business. Normally, they are never repaid, and the investor can recover his/her money only by selling to another investor. Most stocks, or also called shares, earn dividends, at the business's discretion, depending on how well it has traded. A stockholder or shareholder is a part-owner of the business that issued the stock certificates.
