HENDERSON * HE lure of precious minerals has always been an incentive for frontier expansion. Mineral discoveries were obvi ouslyT important to the Spanish Colonial period and some of their discoveries were indeed very rich. The mining frontier was no less important to the Anglo~Americanafter the news reached the eastern United States and South American coun tries that rich placers were being worked on the American River in California. It would be impossible in this paper to give a lengthy de scription of the advance of the Mining Frontier from Cali fornia into the neighboring areas. It moved across the Sierra Nevadas, the Cascades, over the great river systems of the West and resulted in the development of such notorious camps as Bannock, Virginia City and the famous Comstock, or to the immediate interest of Arizonians, penetration into the mountains surrounding Prescott, the districts adjacent to the Colorado River, or the opening of the vast copper enter prises in the Clifton-Morenci area. -

New Hance Trail
National Park Service Grand Canyon U.S. Department of the Interior Grand Canyon National Park Arizona New Hance Trail In 1883, "Captain" John Hance became the first European American to settle at the Grand Canyon. He originally built his trails for mining, but quickly determined the real money lay in work as a guide and hotel manager. From the very start of his tourism business, with his Tennessee drawl, spontaneous wit, uninhibited imagination, and ability to never repeat a tale in exactly the same way, he developed a reputation as an eccentric and highly entertaining storyteller. The scattered presence of abandoned asbestos and copper mines are a reminder of his original intentions for the area. Shortly after his arrival, John improved an old Havasupai trail at the head of today's Hance Creek drainage, the "Old Hance Trail," but it was subject to frequent washouts. When rockslides made it impassable he built the New Hance Trail down Red Canyon. Today's trail very closely follows the trail built in 1894. The New Hance Trail developed a reputation similar to that of the original trail, eliciting the following comment from travel writer Burton Homes in 1904 (he did not exaggerate by much): There may be men who can ride unconcernedly down Hance's Trail, but I confess I am not one of them. My object in descending made it essential that I should live to tell the tale, and therefore, I mustered up sufficient moral courage to dismount and scramble down the steepest and most awful sections of the path on foot …. -
Chapter Three
CIrhapteronic Golden T Yhreeears - The s at Grand Canyon National Park witnessed a seamless progression of building pro- grams begun in the mid-s.The two decades were linked as well by persistence with earlier efforts to enhance visitors’experiences and protect the landscape through educational programs,bound- ary extensions, and the elimination of private and state inholdings. The continuity seems odd at first glance, as it accompanied the deepest economic depression the nation has yet endured. This cyclical malady of world capitalism might have resulted in reduced federal spending, a return to traditional extraction of resources, or a nonstructural approach to park management. Instead, it triggered federal subsidies in the form of emergency building funds and a ready supply of desperate low-wage laborers.Under Miner Tillotson,one of the better park superintendents by NPS standards,a mature administration took full and efficient advantage of national economic woes to complete structural improvements that,given World War and subsequent financial scrimping, might never have been built. In contrast to the misery of national unemployment,homelessness,dust bowls,and bread lines,financial circumstances com- bined with a visitational respite to produce a few golden years at many of the West’s national parks,including Grand Canyon.

IVES EXPEDITION of 18S8

Ives, Corps of Topographic Engineers, United States Army, with his small steamboat, the "Explorer," left the mouth of the Colorado on December 31, 1857 (I-38), and reached the lower end of Black Canyon, nea.r the site of the present Hoover Dam, on March B, 1858 (I-80), a distance of approximately 420 miles in 68 days, or six miles per day. He rightly concluded that this was the head of navigation for his vessel and then went by rowboat upstream through Black Canyon and past the mouth of Virgin River (I-87). He returned to the "Explorer" and on or about March 13 (I-88) started back down- stream. Those are the bare essentials. Let us see what brought about the expedition, whether or not it was the first one, what were the problems and conflicts, and what became of the participants. Following the discovery of gold in California in 1849, there was a stream of emigrants pouring westward into that state, many of them coming by the southern route which crossed the Colorado River near the present site of Yuma, which was first known as Arizona City. One of the persons who crossed here was a Dr. Able B. Lincoln of New York and Illinois (IV-I39) who saw the possibilities of a good income in a ferry at that site, so he stayed there and built one. -
