Manuscripts
The collection consists of a variety of stock certificates, notarized mining documents, meeting minutes and resolutions, a returns ledger, business correspondence relating to the daily business of the company, a certificate of widowhood from the Fraternal Order of Masons, and two pieces of personal correspondence relating to S.A. Shepperd's military service. They give a good picture of the operation of a small-time mining venture and the holdings of a Denver businessman (Shepperd) during the Colorado mining boom years. Shepperd's correspondence with miners and other capitalists, as well as the documents relating to his business deals with mining companies in Nevada and New Mexico, attest to the networks of capital that linked Colorado silver mining to other mining boom districts and other industries. Many of Shepperd's documents are penned on the letterhead of the Denver & Rio Grande/Atchison, Topeka, and Sante Fe Railroad, much of which includes promotional copy advertising the railroad's tourist routes.
