The Wallace Gold Mining Company was incorporated in 1879 in Indiana by Andrew Wallace and seven associates, all residents of Indianapolis. Wallace resided at 86 North Delaware Street; his occupation is not listed. The company's stated aim was to mine "gold or silver, copper, lead and other metals and minerals." It listed among its assets several lodes in Lawrence County, Dakota Territory, most of them in Deadwood Gulch. Capitalization was set at $500,000.
The 1880 city directory does not list any Indianapolis office for the company. In 1881 it was re-incorporated, keeping only Andrew Wallace and coal-and coke dealer G. R. Root from its original directors, and adding five new directors including Indianapolis Journal owner John C. New and livery-stable owner Sylvanus Carey.
This collection contains one item, a manuscript copy of the 1879 Articles of Asociation of the Wallace Gold Mining Company.
