The Humboldt Nickel & Copper Mining Company was incorporated in Chicago, Illinois, in 1883 with authorized capital of $1,000,000 divided into 20,000 shares at $50 each. Likely organized to explore or develop nickel and copper deposits during the U.S. mining boom of the 1880s, the company represents a typical speculative venture of the period.
