Exiled in the Desert: The Bisbee Deportees' Reception in' New Mexico, 1917 RICHARD MELZER On July 12, 1917, Sheriff Harry C. Wheeler and 1,197 armed deputies rounded up 1,186 workers in Bisbee, Arizona, and forced them out of town on board an eastbound freight train to New Mexico. Wheeler and his cohorts justified their action by declaring that the deported men were members of a feared labor union known as the Industrial Workers of the World, or IWW. The IWW reportedly had organized local copper miners in a dangerous strike against Bisbee's major employers, in­ cluding the powerful Phelps Dodge Corporation. Actually only about a third of the deportees were members of the IWW, and the miners' sixteen-day strike had all but fizzled out by July 12. But this made no difference to those who had ordered or led the mass deportation. 1 Richard Melzer is ,assistant professor of history in the University of New Mexico­ Valencia campus.

  • The Bisbee Deportation
    Back to Amazon.com The Bisbee Deportation by W. LANE ROGERS During the summer of 1917, some 2,000 men, hastily deputized by verbal accord, rousted at gunpoint an equal number of striking miners and others from their homes, boarding houses, and places of business. The captives were marched—at gunpoint—to a staging area some two miles distant. There, 1,186 men—those who would not swear loyalty to Bisbee’s cooper mine owners—were herded, at gunpoint, into railroad cars. Then, in the dark of night, the captives were dumped, at gunpoint, into the New Mexico desert. History has attached the name deportation to this extreme bit of unpleasantness. The word is, at best, a misnomer; at worst, an outright falsehood. In fact, what has come to be called the Bisbee Deportation was the largest mass kidnapping in American history. And it went unpunished. Not a single individual who participated in this illegal and unconscionable act ever saw the inside of a jail. No one—certainly not the mine owners who instigated the kidnapping, nor the county sheriff who orchestrated it—was ever brought to justice. The Bisbee Deportation has waddled through history under the oppressive weight of anger and anguish. Despite the passage of nine decades, the incident remains as controversial 1 W. Lane Rogers “The Bisbee Deportation” today as it was in 1917—particularly for Arizonans and others whose family members were on one side of the fence or the other. It is difficult to comprehend how some 2,000 men—men who otherwise were hard- working husbands and fathers, sons and brothers and, presumably, law abiding members of their community—could involve themselves in such an inhumane, extra-legal activity.

Roosevelt was first elected president a group of reporters sang "Home on the Range" on his doorstep in New York City. He asked them to repeat it, and made the statement, so it was said, that it was his favorite song. Later he often listened to the ballad at the White House, and it was reported that at Warm Springs he frequently led his guests in singing it. Stories of the President's approval soon made "Home on the Range" one of the country's hit songs. By 1934 it had moved to the top on the ra­ dio, where it stayed for six months. Everybody sang it, from Lawrence Tibbett to the smallest entertainer. Radio chains, motion picture com­ panies, phonograph record concerns and music publishers had a field day -all free of royalties, for there was no copyright and the author was un­ known. At its peak the song was literally sung around the world. Writing from Bucharest, William L. White, son of William Allen White of Kansas, said: They all know American songs, which is pleasant if you are tired of wars and little neutral capitals, and are just possibly homesick.

    CUMULATIVE INDEX· ARIZONA HIGHWAYS VOLUME 1, 1925 through VOLU~IE 27, 1951 ARTICLES appearing in ARIZONA HIGHWAYS from volume 1 in 1925 through volume 27 in 1951 are indexed here under author and subject. Indexing is similar to that found in READERS' GurnE TO PERIODICAL LITERATURE; each article is listed under the heading or headings most closely indicating the general subject matter. This is not a detailed analytical index to contents of articles. The user will find, for instance, those articles which deal with Katchinas, but not the names of various Katchinas discussed in the articles. Very general headings such as DESCRIPTION have been used only where more specific headings were not possible. A series of tall tales which appeared during early years of the magazine have been listed under that heading. Portraits have been indexed wherever there was a clear likeness. Group por­ traits have been incJuded when likenesses were clear and recognizable. There is a special index to color illustrations which have been an outstanding feature of ARIZONA HrGHWAYS for the past 10 years. Generally each picture has been listed under a single subject, the one which in the fallible judgment of the compiler, seemed most appropriate. It is hoped this will be of use to teachers and armchair travelers. ♦ COMPILED BY DONALD M.

  • Pima County, Arizona | Case Studies
    FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY DRAFT MULTI-STAKEHOLDER GROUP 06/10/2016 Pima County, Arizona | Case Studies Copper is a major industrial metal used in construction, electronics, transportation, industrial machinery, and consumer products. In 2014, the U.S. was the world’s fourth- largest copper producer, mining 1.13 million tons of copper worth approximately $9.7 billion.i Of the five major copper-producing states (Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, and Montana), Arizona increased production the most in 2014; its copper output totaled 893,000 metric tons, representing 66% of the national total.ii Copper represented 89% of the value of mining in Arizona.iii If Arizona were a country, it would be the seventh largest copper producer in the world.iv Greenlee and Pima counties generated the majority of that production. Geology and history In Pima County, much like nearby Greenlee County, copper mining began in the 1870s. Mining activity in Pima County flourished in the late nineteenth century, particularly as the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad brought increased commerce and traffic to the region. The copper-mining industry followed a series of boom-and-bust cycles throughout the following decades, with particular spikes during the two world wars, when demand soared. Today, copper output in Pima County is driven by operations at three open-pit mines: Sierrita, Mission Complex, and Silver Bell. Production In 2014, the combined copper production from Pima County’s three major mines totaled 175,000 metric tons.v This output constituted 22% of national production for that year.vi Freeport-McMoRan Inc. manages the Sierrita mine, the top-producing operation in the county, while ASARCO LLC owns both the Mission Complex and Silver Bell mines.
