De boeiende geschiedenis van deze mijn en haar juridische voorgangers, wordt - teruggaand tot ca. het jaar 1100 ! - prachtig beschreven in 14 blzn. met illustraties op de web site http://www.domanialemijn.nl/frame2.php.
De onderhavige NV werd in 1925 opgericht als een der weinige particuliere mijnen in Limburg, met een pachtcontract met de Staat der Nederlanden voor 75 jaren. Maar al in 1966 nam de Nederlandse Staat de aandelen over (waarbij dit aandeel no. 726 kennelijk niet is ingeleverd) en in 1969 werd de productie gestaakt. In 1996 diende de regering een faillissementsaanvraag in: er was toen al met al ca. 38 miljoen ton kolen gedorven.

The Bauermann family were the first to apply for a gold mining concession in 1885 in Soemalata, in the region of Gorontalo on Northern Celebes, although already since 1865 some gold was dug here on a limited scale. This application became the start of a "gold rush". The Bauermanns received in 1890 an exploration license and only in 1894 an exploitation license. In 1896 this license was brought in into the N.V. Mijnbouw Maatschappij "Soemalata". H.J. Bauermann became director and his brother D.T. Bauermann became the agent in Gorontalo. However, already in 1898 a subagent of the NHM (Nederlandsche Handel Maatschappij) reported that North Celebes appeared to be far from the gold land one had figured. The company did not really flourish and dug up 1500 kilo's of gold since 1900. Apart from this company, the Bauermann brothers had stakes in another 5 mining companies. After 1906 the Gold Rush in Northern Celebes was over. Source: Het Indische Handelshuis Bauermann in de 19e eeuw.

Read more about the interesting history of these mines, dating back to 1903 and not yet finished as these shares are still traded on the Brussels stock market, despite the fact that the company was nationalised already years ago by the Zaire government. Apparantly some investors still hope to redeem money from any future Zaire government: "a classic gold digger's dream ?"

Canada

The Diamond Jubilee Mineral Development Company of Ontario, Canada Ltd. Share warrant to bearer of 5 shares of 1 $ each, no. 5290; Toronto, febr. 1898, printed by Alexander & Co., Ltd., Toronto; text in black and white, both in English and French, with large gold seal and 2 small pictures of beavers; a beauty to frame ! measuring ca. 21 x 35 cm (9 x 14 inch); couponsheet attached as originally issued, one coupon cut for dividend; condition EF = extremely fine, unfolded, almost as new; price € 95. This share warrant is depicted on the cover of the German share collector's magazine "der Aktiensammler" no 6, 2008. Page 10 and 11 are an article "Fascination Diamanten: Edelsteine im Spiegel Historischer Wertpapiere" (Engl.: Diamond fascination: gems mirrorred by historic stocks). However, a diamond share collector pointed out to me that this company is probably an ordinary mining company, not involved in diamonds. We can see a correct definition in WIKIPEDIA : A Diamond Jubilee is a celebration held to mark a 60th anniversary in the case of a person (e.g. wedding anniversary, length of time a monarch has reigned as King or Queen, etc.) or a 75th anniversary in the case of an event (e.g. the founding of a university), such as in the case of the University of Nottingham'sJubilee Campus In this context , the  term of mineral is used frequently  for rocks, earths  and metallic ores and very rarely  for a gemmy material.

Argonaut Mill & Mining Co.
Incorporated, june 18th 1879 in San Francisco;Capital stock 2 million $ (20.000 shares of 100$); certificate nr 129 (in blue figures) of x = 100 shares, dated January 7th 1880, in the name of John Sproston Jr., who endorsed the certificate on the back in order to have it registered in the companies book after handing over this certificate.Small size (10 by 24 cm) and on pink paper. Original signatures of secretary (Fields ?) and director (Davenput ?); Litography by Britton & Rey S.F.; Above the lower border it reads Eldorado Co., Cal.;
Price: 250 Euro.
See this certificate and it's Beautiful 6 by 4 cm vignette of the mythological ship the ARGO, the famous and heroic crew of which were called the ARGNAUTS. See the story of this famous journey led by Iason, who went out to get the Golden Fleece, and also have a look at a map of their journey.   Now, the videorelease can be hired of the beautiful 1999 film (172 minutes !) "Jason and the Argonauts".  It covers only half the journey described here, but is an adventure film worth seeing !
Adventurers who went to California in search of gold soon after its discovery there in 1848, were called Argonauts, so I take it that the Argonaut Mill and Mining Co. was a gold mining and processing company.
