There were a million shares of stock issued on the Little Smoky Mining Company and my great grandfather, August Hoff, purchased 500 shares from D.W. Zent certificate #11. It was affiliated with the Red Star Group of mining claims... this was issued on July 1, 1939. Please by some miracle, that this parcel of land still exists and how can I move forward on this? I am earnestly seeking someone's help with regard to the mining certificate I hold that was handed down to me. Sincerely, Leslie
