The Nestegg Mining Company was incorporated by Patrick Aloysius O'Farrell, Archibald Blair Erskine and George Alan Kirk on Jan. 31, 1896, to purchase and work the Nestegg Mineral Claim in the Trail Creek Mining Division of the West Kootenay District. In June P.A. O'Farrell bought a half interest in the adjacent Firefly Mineral Claim on behalf of the company. On Dec. 2, 1896, the Nestegg and Firefly Gold Mining Company was incorporated by P.A. O'Farrell, Charles Hayward, Arthur John Weaver and C.A. Holland to purchase and work the Nestegg and Firefly Mineral Claims. Early the next year the former company resolved to call in all its shares and sell about a quarter of them to pay off its debts. The remaining shares were to be exchanged for an equal number of shares of the Nestegg and Firefly Gold Mining Company to be distributed to shareholders in proportion to the stock of the older company they had surrendered. The mining operations were never profitable, and the company found itself in legal and financial troubles almost from the beginning. After becoming inactive in about 1899, the company made one last attempt to work the Nestegg claim in 1907 when they shipped a few tons of ore, but this too proved unprofitable.
