Edwin Reynolds, the legendary chief engineer of the E. P. Allis Company (later Allis-Chalmers), is directly tied to the history of the famous Morning Mine in Idaho through the heavy machinery required to power its deep underground operations.
As the Morning Mine in the Coeur D'Alene District grew to become one of the deepest underground mines in the United States, its operators relied heavily on massive, specialized equipment - specifically air compressors, hoists and pumps, designed by Edwin Reynolds. Reynolds was world- renowned for inventing the Reynolds-Corliss steam engine, which revolutionized industrial mining by providing the massive, continuous power needed to run ore mills and ventilate deep subterranean shafts. Price for just the stock certificate - $250
