Backed largely by French bondholders, the company took title to roughly 600,000–640,000 acres scattered across Parker, Palo Pinto, Stephens, Callahan, Shackelford, Mitchell, Taylor, Nolan, Jones, and Fisher counties, with operating offices at Weatherford and its board meeting in Paris. Its purpose was to sell farm and ranch tracts and profit from settlement and the advance of the Texas & Pacific along the old MEP&P right-of-way; capitalization was reported at about $5.34 million in $100 shares. Mismanagement and insider dealing dogged the enterprise, and although land sales continued (a small siding community, “Franco,” took its name from the company), the charter expired in 1896 and the legislature allowed three additional years to wind up affairs. Rare and attractive Continental BNC certificate. ����������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Est. $120-180 Scripophily - Mining Alaska 616 616 AK.AlaskaMiningStockCertificateQuintet, all are I/UCertificates, ca.1902-1919 Alaska.
