This is certificate number 31, dated 7 March 1918, for twenty shares of stock in the Mans­field Mining and Development Company of Joplin in Jasper County, Missouri.  The firm owned mining leases and contracts near Mansfield in Wright County, Missouri.  The shares were sold to L. F. Livingston and the certificate was signed by N. Rosenberg, president, and C. O. Storm, sec­retary.

 

According to Articles of Association filed with the Missouri Secretary of State, the Mans­field Mining and Development Company was organized for a fifty-year term on 22 September 1917.  Capitalization was $300,000 in 30,000 shares, including “certain mining leases and mining contracts with royalty income” in Township 28 North, Range 15 West and Range 16 West, north­west of Mansfield in Wright County.  The original shareholders and first Board of Directors were J. H. Havens of Olean, N.Y. (5,000 shares), and N. Rosenberg (5,000), J. R. Sandage (5,000), C. O. Storm (5,000), R. W. James (5,000), and N. Rosenberg as trustee (5,000), all of Joplin.

 

On 15 November 1917 the shareholders voted to decrease the firm’s capitalization from $300,000 to $70,000 in 7,000 shares.  The company’s charter was declared forfeited by the Secre­tary of State on 1 January 1921 for reason of failure to file an annual registration.

 

The name of L. F. Livingston is styled as F. L. Livingston on the back of the certificate.
