  • Subsurface Information from Three Wells in the Tonto Basin, Gila County, Arizona by Stephen M
    Subsurface information from three wells in the Tonto Basin, Gila County, Arizona by Stephen M. Richard Open-File Report 99-07 Arizona Geological Survey 416 W. Congress, #100, Tucson, Arizona 85701 March, 1999 This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with Ari­ zona Geological Survey standards INTRODUCTION Three wells drilled in the Tonto Basin have been studied to assist in the interpretation of subsurface geology of the basin. These are the Forest Service Windy Hill Test #1, drilled in 1991, the Sanchez­ O'Brien Federal 1-4, drilled in 1983, and the Kerber 1 Federal, drilled in 1969. Locations and other in­ formation about the wells are included in Table 1. GEOLOGIC SETTING Mountain ranges surrounding the Tonto Basin consist of Early to Middle Proterozoic granitic and metamorphic rocks, overlain by Middle Proterozoic strata of the Apache Group and lower Paleozoic clastic and carbonate strata. Tertiary volcanic rocks overlie these units around the southeastern part of the basin. The physiographic Tonto basin consists of two geologic sub-basins, apparent on the depth-to­ bedrock map for Arizona [Oppenheimer and Sumner, 1980]. A bedrock high between the area of Tonto National Monument and Windy Hill, then north from Windy Hill separates the sub-basins. The wells described in this report are from the southern part of the northern sub-basin and the transition zone be­ tween the sub-basins. Paleozoic and Precambrian rocks In the area of the bedrock high separating the two sub-basins of the Tonto Basin, Devonian and Mississippian sandstone, limestone and dolomite are preserved overlying the Apache Group.

  • Good Afternoon Kara, Is the Carmen Court Designation Review Still Open
    From: Leo Cruz To: Hahn, Kara L. - CPD City Planner Principal Subject: [EXTERNAL] 900 E. 1st Avenue Date: Friday, July 17, 2020 5:10:28 PM Good afternoon Kara, Is the Carmen Court Designation review still open for public input? If so, I would like to state my support for the landmark consideration as stated in the application. In particular, I strongly concur with the assessments of criteria 6, 7 and 3 as detailed in the application. Please let me know if there is a process or format I need to follow to formalize my expression of support. Thank you! Leo Cruz 48 S. Pearl Street 720-219-3091 Karen Roehl, 90 Emerson Street, Carmen Court, Denver CO I was born in Montreal, Canada where I spent my childhood. In 1967 when I was 12, my family immigrated to Denver. I married and had 2 children by the time I was 24. The marriage didn’t work out, and I became a single parent. Working full time as a secretary while taking evening classes in graphic design made me a very busy mother! Eventually, I was able to shift careers and become a graphic designer. I had a great career for over 25 years. After my daughters went off to college, I began to pursue fine art painting. At age 50, I decided to go back to school to earn my BFA, my first higher ed de- gree. Graduating in 2007, I immediately found representation for my work and have made a living as an artist ever since. I sell my work through gallery representation and various shows.

  • The New Mexico Volunteers
    THE NEW MEXICO VOLUNTEERS In the American Civil War 1861-1862 By David Poulin Index Introduction page 2 Chapter One – Texan Invasions page 5 Chapter Two – The Stage page 21 Chapter Three – The First Regiment page 42 Chapter Four – Recruitment Continues page 64 Chapter Five – Five Percent! page 88 Chapter Six – The Battle of Valverde page 113 Appendix – Unit Listings page 136 Index – List of Biographical Sketches page 143 Cover drawing by _________. _______ depicts the First New Mexico guarding the left flank of the army on the morning of the Battle of Valverde. They are observing the progress of the battle from their position. Colonel Kit Carson is standing in front with Captain Louis Felsenthal on the left. 2 INTRODUCTION It’s possible that history students and Civil War buffs will not understand the American Civil War in New Mexico if they are not familiar with New Mexico itself - it’s history and cultural heritage, in short – what kind of people lived here. If we read only the popular histories available on the Civil War period we get the impression that the New Mexicans had never volunteered for military duty before….that they were untrustworthy, untried, and their very enlistment was a great experiment of sorts, almost amounting to the controversial use of black troops in the eastern states. This is not quite how it was. We cannot look at the situation in the southwest with the same political, religious and cultural points of view that existed in the ‘mainstream’ United States. People here did not have any real experience with the issues of Negro slavery, State’s Rights, and economics as they existed east of the Mississippi.

VALUES IN TRANSITION: THE CHIRICAHUA APACHE FROM 1886-1914 John W Ragsdale, Jr.* Abstract Law confirms but seldom determines the course of a society. Values and beliefs, instead, are the true polestars, incrementally implemented by the laws, customs, and policies. The Chiricahua Apache, a tribal society of hunters, gatherers, and raiders in the mountains and deserts of the Southwest, were squeezed between the growing populations and economies of the United States and Mexico. Raiding brought response, reprisal, and ultimately confinement at the loathsome San Carlos Reservation. Though most Chiricahua submitted to the beginnings of assimilation, a number of the hardiest and least malleable did not. Periodic breakouts, wild raids through New Mexico and Arizona, and a labyrinthian, nearly impenetrable sanctuary in the Sierra Madre led the United States to an extraordinary and unprincipled overreaction.

  • United States Army Scouts: the Southwestern
    3-/71 UNITED STATES ARMY SCOUTS: THE SOUTHWESTERN EXPERIENCE, 1866-1890 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Carol Conley Nance, B. A. Denton, Texas May, 1975 Nance, Carol Conley, United States Army Scouts: The Southwestern Experience, 1866-1890. Master of Arts (History), May, 1975, 156 pp., 4 maps, bibliography, 107 titles. In the post-Civil War Southwest, the United States Army utilized civilians and Indians as scouts. As the mainstay of the reconnaissance force, enlisted Indians excelled as trackers, guides, and fighters. General George Crook became the foremost advocate of this service. A little-known aspect of the era was the international controversy created by the activities of native trackers under the 1882 recipro- cal hot pursuit agreement between Mexico and the United States. Providing valuable information on Army scouts are numerous government records which include the Annual Report of the Secretary of War from 1866 to 1896 and Foreign Relations of the United States for 1883 and 1886. Memoirs, biographies, and articles in regional and national histori- cal journals supplement government documents. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF MAPS . iv Chapter I.
