  • Walnut Grove Elec.Book
    Arizona’s Worst Disaster The Hassayampa Story 1886–2009 Jim Liggett The Hassayampa River downstream of the Walnut Grove Dam site Water, water, water…There is no shortage of water in the desert but exactly the right amount, a perfect ratio of water to rock. Of water to sand, insuring that wide, free, open, generous spacing among plants and animals, homes and towns and cities, which makes the arid West so different from any other part of the nation. There is no lack of water here, unless you try to establish a city where no city should be. Edward Abbey, Wilderness Reader i The picture on the cover is a photo of a diorama in the Desert Caballe- ros Western Museum in Wickenburg, Arizona, done by George Fuller of Wickenburg. It is the artist’s depiction of the flood wave from the Walnut Grove Dam failure exiting Box Canyon. Photograph of the diorama is courtesy of the Desert Caballeros Western Museum. Back cover: The Hassayampa River Preserve is a virtual desert oasis. The green trees—mostly cottonwoods, willows, and mesquites but also palms and other vegetation—are a result of the constant supply of water. Water appears on the surface here throughout the year as shown in the inset taken after a summer of very low precipitation. Copyright © James A.

See the Arizona Airstream Club website. 1 March 1, 2020 Wickenburg Rally Debra MacWilliams The February Arizona Airstream Rally in Wickenburg was loads of fun! Old friends were reunited, new friendships were born, and we had a lively and diverse group of like-minded people. Oh, not like-minded in the political sense… but rather in their optimistic and joyful outlook on life. I’ve heard it said that ‘Life is a Journey’. For Airstream folks, Life is also the destination! Wickenburg was a destination that allowed us all to step back into Arizona history to one of the first towns in the state. The Town of Wickenburg’s history dates back to the year 1863, when Henry Wickenburg arrived in search of gold, having just returned empty handed from the California Gold Rush. Legend has it that when he was hungry and Our Hosts: Tom and Deb MacWilliams discouraged almost to desperation from the blazing heat, a vulture on a boulder squawked at him.

  • Mining in Arizona
    MINING IN ARIZONA jtJ P11Jt ♦ JtJ Pl'eJent • jtJ ?utul'e DEPARTMENT OF MINERAL RESOURCES STATE OF ARIZONA PHOENIX, ARIZONA FRANK P. KNIGHT, DIRECTOR MINING IN ARIZONA Jt, PflJt jtJ P/'eJeht JtJ 1utu/'e JANUARY, 1958 -1- -4- ARIZONA MINING HISTORY Long before the white man set foot on much of this nation's area he had explored portions of Arizona. It was the lure of the metals - gold and silver - ·that prompted Coronado's famous expedition in search of the Seven Cities of Cibola. In 1540, eighty years before the Mayflower left England, Coronado's army captain, Gardenas, stood on the brink of Arizona's Grand Canyon. Cor­ onado, however, wanted his gold and silvei: already mined, smelted and minted. He was not interested in unmined ores, and conse­ quently did no prospecting. Thirty-seven years before the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers, when the Elizabethan Age was dawning in England and Shake­ speare was but 19 years of age, a white man, Antonio Espejo, found silver ore in what is now Arizona. It was the State's first recorded mineral discovery. In the period from 1860 to 1956 inclusive, Arizona's mines have yielded more than $6,396,940,817, the value of its five principal metals, copper, lead, zinc, gold. and silver produced in that period. Had that amount been possessed by one man 500 years before Christ, and had that same rirnn lived until today, he could have spent $7,100 per day - and still have any interest or income from the principal. W.hile all phases · of the mining industry contributed to such achievement, it is to the pioneer prospector and miner we of this "machine age" owe an everlasting debt.
