Index of Mining Properties in Santa Cruz County, Arizona

"Index of Mining Properties in Santa Cruz County, Arizona" is the third of the series covering the counties of the State. The first two, covering Cochise and Pima Counties, were published as Arizona Bureau of Mines Bulletins 187 (1973) and 189 (1974)respectively. Arizona's important and large mineral output has come from numerous major operations and small mines or prospects for some 300 years, from the time of the early Spanish prospecting inwhat is nowSanta Cruz County. The records of the mining activities are scattered in historical documents and records, publications of individuals and Federal and State agencies, articles in technical journals, public and private reports, and newspaper clippings. Many such sources are not readily available to those seeking such information and thus these indices are designed to provide, in a concise form, a summary of information on the mining properties and the more important sources of the information. No attempt has been made to name and describe every mining property or prospect that may have been located or worked.Documents in the AZGS Document Repository collection are made available by the Arizona Geological Survey (AZGS) and the University Libraries at the University of Arizona.
