TITLE: YCLD Ephemera Collection DATE RANGE: 1870’s - current PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 89 Linear Feet (176 boxes) PROVENANCE: In 2013 all ephemeral and vertical file materials from multiple donors and locations were evaluated and consolidated to form a unified ephemera collection that could grow into the future. Recognition should be given to the thousands of donors and thousands of volunteer hours who collected and organized these materials since 1965. RESTRICTIONS: None CREDIT LINE: Yuma County Library Ephemera Collection, Yuma County Library District, Yuma, Arizona PROCESSSED BY: John Irwin, 2013-2014 SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE: This is the largest archival collection in the holdings. It represents a wide range of social, economic, cultural and ethnic communities reflecting the spectrum of human activity, past and present. The Yuma County Historical Society began collecting archival materials in 1965. This effort continued after it became a branch of the Arizona Historical Society in 1971, and later the AHS-Rio Colorado Division. Over the decades various methods were employed by staff and volunteers to organize segments of the materials. The bulk of this collection is based on the organizational structure adopted in the 1980s. Subheadings have been added to make this large body of material more accessible to researchers. Between 1993 and 2012 volunteers also assembled and organized twelve linear feet of newspaper articles primarily from the Yuma Daily Sun. These contemporary articles have been added within the appropriate headings. It is arranged alphabetically both by geographic place names and subject headings that range from broad to more specific. Its scope covers the breadth of human activities and knowledge of the Lower Colorado River area of Arizona, especially Yuma and La Paz Counties, from the Spanish period to the present. It also includes extensive material on western Imperial County, California such as the old Fort Yuma and the later Fort Yuma Quechan Reservation, Winterhaven, the Imperial Sand Dunes, the Old Plank Road, and the Picacho Mining District. There are also extensive files covering the early history of nearby Baja California, Mexico. The materials include pamphlets, reports, small maps, flyers, brochures, broadsides, cards, prospectuses, newspaper and magazine articles, photocopies of book chapters, reports, studies, and small quantities of miscellaneous original material such as a single AHS-Rio Colorado Ephemera Collection – 1 of 80 letter or business document. Generally files with subheadings (e.g. Automobile Dealers, Banks, etc.) contain material prior to the 1990’s. The researcher is advised to perform key word searches to locate material on a specific topic. For example, material on the San Carlos Hotel is located under Business- Hotels – San Carlos Hotel” during its life as a hotel. Subsequent development and reuse of the building after it closed is located under Buildings – San Carlos Hotel. Major Headings In the container list, major headings are in bold within the boxes. What follows are highlights of some but not all of these headings. Buildings contains material on construction, demolition, developments, subdivisions, malls, prominent commercial structures, and special building types, such as straw and dome. Business–newspaper articles” contains information on the opening and closing of large and small businesses, winter visitors, economic planning, business forecasts, business conditions and statistics for the specific year. Environment contains information on Borderlands and, groundwater pollution, fuel spills, off-road vehicles, graffiti, endangered species, invasive species, Colorado River dumping and trash, and the United State Bureau of Land Management activities. Fire (newspapers) contain information on the Yuma Fire Department, Rural Metro, EMS rescue and emergency response, and fires of all types. Government–City of Yuma contains information about the activities and decision of the City Council and city departments, including zoning, development and annexation issues. Government–State of Arizona includes information on redistricting, visits by State officials, and legislation affecting Western Arizona. Government–Yuma County contains information about the activities and decisions of the Board of Supervisors, government officials, and county departments, including planning, zoning, and development issues. Organizations includes a variety of civic, charitable, social service, special interest, political, fraternal and women’s groups. Rivers-Colorado River contains an unusually rich collection of research materials covering numerous issues pertaining to the river, including water rights and the decades- long controversy with California, including the 1923 Colorado River Compact meeting of Western states in Santa Fe, the 1934 Parker Dam War, and the Arizona Colorado River Commission. These particular files contain rare pamphlets, broadsides, and newspaper articles from the 1920s to the 1960s. AHS-Rio Colorado Ephemera Collection – 2 of 80 San Luis, Arizona focuses on the Port of Entry connecting San Luis, Arizona and San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora Mexico and the San Luis Border Inspection Station.

    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE REGION 2 DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINANTS CONTAMINANTS IN BIGHORN SHEEP ON THE KOFA NATIONAL WIL DLIFE REFUGE, 2000-2001 By Carrie H. Marr, Anthony L. Velasco1, and Ron Kearns2 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Arizona Ecological Services Office 2321 W. Royal Palm Road, Suite 103 Phoenix, Arizona 85021 August 2004 2 ABSTRACT Soils of abandoned mines on the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge (KNWR) are contaminated with arsenic, barium, mercury, manganese, lead, and zinc. Previous studies have shown that trace element and metal concentrations in bats were elevated above threshold concentrations. High trace element and metal concentrations in bats suggested that bighorn sheep also may be exposed to these contaminants when using abandoned mines as resting areas. We found evidence of bighorn sheep use, bighorn sheep carcasses, and scat in several abandoned mines. To determine whether bighorn sheep are exposed to, and are accumulating hazardous levels of metals while using abandoned mines, we collected soil samples, as well as scat and bone samples when available. We compared mine soil concentrations to Arizona non-residential clean up levels. Hazard quotients were elevated in several mines and elevated for manganese in one Sheep Tank Mine sample. We analyzed bighorn sheep tissues for trace elements. We obtained blood, liver, and bone samples from hunter-harvested bighorn in 2000 and 2001. Arizona Game and Fish Department also collected blood from bighorn during a translocation operation in 2001. Iron and magnesium were elevated in tissues compared to reference literature concentrations in other species. Most often, domestic sheep baseline levels were used for comparison because of limited available data for bighorn sheep.

The first one consists of a series of intercalations of calc-silicate rocks, local marbles, and greenschist. Quartzite appears in the upper part of the section. This section passes transitionally to the gneiss, which is believed to be of sedimentary origin. Features indicative of sedimentary origin include inter­ calation with marble, relic bedding which can be observed locally, intercalation of greenschist clearly of sedimentary origin, lack of homogeneity in composition with both lateral and vertical variation occurring, roundness of zircon grains, and lack of zoning in the feldspars.

Similar declines were noted in Sonora, Mexico; however, the species still persists at many sites in Mexico. Chytridiomycosis was detected during some declines and implicated in others; however, airborne pollutants from copper smelters, predation, competition, and extreme weather may have also been contributing factors. We collected Tarahumara Frogs in Sonora for captive rearing and propagation beginning in 1999, and released frogs to two historical localities in Arizona, including Big Casa Blanca Canyon and vicinity, Santa Rita Mountains, and Sycamore Canyon, Atascosa Mountains.
