Spanish and American prospectors discovered gold, silver, and copper mines in southwestern New Mexico in the 1800s. This volume explores the further development of these mining operations into the early 1900s. During this time period, improvements in technology made mining profitable, and eastern corporations invested in New Mexico mines. World War I created a demand for copper, and this era saw the development of paternalistic company towns. Miners faced difficult and dangerous working conditions, but their lives improved compared to previous generations. Many of the towns and the people in southwestern New Mexico owed their livelihood, in whole or in part, to mining. Some of these places have disappeared entirely, some are ghost towns, and others are thriving communities.

This is the story of mining in Lake Valley, New Mexico, a short-lived silver mining boom-town in southern New Mexico roughly between Hillsboro and Deming. It draws from a number of sources compiled by the late Homer E. Milford when he worked for the New Mexico Abandoned Mine Land Bureau in the 1980s and '90s.The Lake Valley story is fairly typical of what happened in many western mining towns, although it is especially dramatic in the magnitude of "wheeling and dealing", coupled with numerous coloful characters, an especially rich deposit of silver, and a series of comtemporary photographs and documents, that all together present an extraordinary tale of the West.It is dangerous as well as libelous to accuse someone of dishonesty if you cannot prove it, even a hundred years after his or her death. George D. Roberts and J. Whitaker Wright, the promoters of the Lake Valley mines from 1881 to late 1883, started their venture with the intent to sell what they thought was a small silver deposit for dozens of times its real mining value. Roberts and Wright had successful careers buying deposits or mines and then forming mining companies to sell stock to the public at inflated prices. By manipulating the news their mine managers gave the press, they could raise and lower the stock prices numerous times making a profit in both directions. They knew that eventually each company would be considered worthless and anticipated that event by selling their stock before this occurred. Roberts generally had one or more new companies underdevelopment to replace the companies that got discredited. I have tried to avoid using derogatory terms to describe Roberts and Wright. Every derogatory term I know, and some I did not know were applied to Roberts in the press almost 120 years ago. These ranged from mild ones like "dishonest" to "his Satanic Majesty." Roberts was never convicted of stock fraud, but Wright was in 1904. With the exception of quotes from the press, mild terms are used for these men in this history. This is not because I think they were mhonest or had anything but the worst of intentions, but because I admire the skill they demonstratedin what was then and now illegal. These men made at least one positive contribution to mining. The mills they built to impress the public, to entice them into buying stock, were often later used by honest miners. This was an inadvertent contribution to the development of mining in North America, Australia and Africa.

The rock-ribbed hills surrounding Cerrillos, New Mexico, are honeycombed with mineshafts and it is these mines that have shaped the history of the town and of the district over which it presides. The Pueblo Indians for untold ages took out turquoise; the Spaniards in their turn found gold, silver and lead; and finally, the Anglo-Americans exploited all of these in addition to copper, zinc and coal. Mining gave life to Cerrillos and to neighboring towns such as Bonanza City, Carbonateville, Waldo and Madrid. And when the boom passed and the mines closed, that life ebbed away. Scattered over the hills and in the valleys everywhere are skeletal remains of mining activity: deserted buildings, black and foreboding entrances to shafts, broken tools and equipment, fallen timbers from the windlasses, gallows and hoist houses, tailing dumps and slag heaps. These offer silent testimony to the once prosperous past of the Cerrillos mining district and are an appeal for all students of history.

An account of the rise and fall of a mining town over two centuries, including photos: “An excellent story of the people and their community.” ―New Mexico Historical Review The Spanish, Mexicans, and Americans, successively, mined copper for more than two hundred years in Santa Rita, New Mexico. Starting in 1799 after an Apache man led the Spanish to the native copper deposits, miners at the site followed industry developments in the nineteenth century to create a network of underground mines. In the early twentieth century these works became part of the Chino Copper Company’s open-pit mining operations—operations that would overtake Santa Rita by 1970. In Santa Rita del Cobre, Christopher Huggard and Terrence Humble detail these developments with in-depth explanations of mining technology, and describe the effects on and consequences for the workers, the community, and the natural environment. Originally known as El Cobre, the mining-military camp of Santa Rita del Cobre ultimately became the company town of Santa Rita, which after World War II evolved into an independent community. From the town’s beginnings to its demise, its mixed-heritage inhabitants from Mexico and the United States cultivated rich family, educational, religious, social, and labor traditions. Extensive archival photographs, many taken by officials of the Kennecott Copper Corporation, accompany the text, providing an important visual and historical record of a town swallowed up by the industry that created it.

One of the most fascinating folktales of New Mexico concerns a gold mine believed to lie near Truchas Peaks north of Santa Fe. Initially discovered by Spanish explorers, the mine is said to have been worked by three secretive German immigrants, who took its location to their graves. Some years later, so the story goes, the mine was rediscovered by a poor herder named Juan Mondragon, who died at the hand of his adulterous wife before he could make its location known.
