Scope and content

Series consists of the Certificate of Incorporation and Articles of Association; minutes; an indenture; correspondence regarding the purchase of the Company in 1894 by Cariboo Hydraulic Mining Company and share transactions reports by J.K. Barker relating to a survey by Polleys and Johnson and the construction of a ditch in 1890; and various financial records.

Also contains a letter to William Stephenson (ex-President) from Tom Barton on 14 April 1912 on the burning of his house. The Certificate of Incorporation of the South Fork Hydraulic and Mining Company (under the Companies Act, 1890) was filed on 23 June. The objects of the company were to pursue hydraulic and other processes of mining, to own and construct ditching flumes or other systems of waterways and to acquire and operate, sell or lease mines, minerals, water and waterways. The capital stock of the company was $150,000 and its principal place of business was Quesnelle Forks. J.K. Barker, William Polleys and John R. Smith were the directors. In 1894 the South Fork Hydraulic and Mining Company was purchased by the Cariboo Hydraulic Mining Company (certificate of Incorporation filed 27 November 1893). In August 1911, both companies were notified by the Companies Office that, because they had failed to file annual reports and other related documentation for two years, they would be dissolved. This dissolution took place on 25 August 1912, although both of them must have ceased operations some time previously.
