Great Caribou Gold Company certificate
Designer unknown, Vancouver, 1907

image

The process of mining is noted and beautifully illustrated in the design of this engraved certificate. Illustrations include, “gold sands,” “washing gold,” and “largest gold values in bed rock deposits of gravel and sand.” A gold nugget along with two vials of gold from the mine are framed in decorative green, both on top and bottom of the certificate, and evokes the potential of the Great Cariboo Gold Company.
