Museum without Walls program The Arizona Mining, Mineral and Natural Resources Education (MMNRE) Museum at the University of Arizona has embarked on an outreach program to showcase Arizona minerals and mining artifacts in cooperating museums, libraries, and public spaces across the state. Why? Because traveling museum exhibits, developed in partnership between two organizations, provide an opportunity to reach and inform new audiences of fresh ideas and concepts. A key objective is to advance the missions of both MMNRE and the host organization and to make collection objects and interpretation accessible to the broader community.

A brief history of the mining activity, mines and miners of the Warren mining district in Bisbee, Arizona; Arizona's first, major copper mining district.

Each year there are numerous requests for information on visiting Arizona's mines and mineral collecting sites. The following brief compilation lists sites for mine tours, mine overviews, gold panning areas, mineral museums, and a list of publications on mineral collecting.

Mason Coggin was director of Arizona Department of Mines and Mineral Resources during the mid 1990s. These images were either shot by or collected by him. The newest photo showing a date is from 1953, but some photos were clearly taken as late as the 1970s or 1980s. Perhaps better than any other photo collection from ADMMR, this collection focuses on miners, mines, machinery and buildings. There are several images of the Bisbee and Ajo areas.

lntroduction:-The copper industry in the United States has enjoyed a year of unparalleled prosperity during 1915. It is needless to explain the conditions which have so greatly affected our copper market, as they are really self-evident, but I shall endeavor here to outline the possible conditions of the future copper market, which would be created by the termination of the European war. The opinions regarding this question are many and greatly diversified, and many hold the belief that the termination of the war will result in a decline of the copper prices to a very low level. However, the consideration of the following facts will be of help in the formation of a more or less definite conception as to what the effect of the cessation of war might be upon the copper market. 14 p.

Thomas Cowperthwaite, Safety Inspector of the Calumet & Arizona Mining Company and their subsidiary companies, spoke before the Mining Club of the Bisbee Y. M. C. A. recently, and gave many pertinent suggestions on accident prevention. A few excerpts from his talk follow: "A Safety Inspector needs all the power he can get. If he is general manager or superintendent he can put any idea he may get into force without bothering to collect data for a long time. The next best thing is to have all the biggest bosses on committees. That way, things wrong can be remedied all the minute." For instance, one afternoon, Mr.Cowperthwaite found three dangerous places in one afternoon. The superintendent was on the commission and ordered the carpenters to go fix that at once. Before the shift was over all three holes were safe. Getting action that quick may have saved three men's lives or prevented bad accidents. That kind of Safety First gets results. 12 p.

Since Bulletin 187 was printed a dozen years ago, several new studies on the geologic framework and mineral resources of Cochise County have been released. Because the bulletin was reprinted without modification, it is appropriate to call to your attention some of these new publications. - The New Mexico Geological Society, in cooperation with the Arizona Geological Society, held its 29th field conference in Cochise County, November 9-11, 1978. Road logs and technical papers on various aspects of the geologic framework and associated mineral resources are included in the guidebook, which was published by and can be purchased from the New Mexico Geological Society, Inc. A geologic map (scale 1:125,000) of most of Cochise County and adjoining Pima County, prepared by Harald Drewes, was published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 1980. Robert B. Scarborough and Michel L. Coney prepared an index of published geologic maps of Arizona, which was printed by the Arizona Bureau of Geology and Mineral Technology in 1982.

Great mineral wealth has been paramount in the development of Arizona. It has attracted attention since the first Spanish explorations of the Southwest. The lure of precious metals brought many of the early American settlers to the Territory, and mining has been responsible for the establishment of many Arizona cities and towns. Ajo, Bisbee, Clarkdale, Clifton, Douglas, Globe, Hayden, Jerome, Miami, Morenci, San Manuel, Superior, Tombstone, Ray, and numerous other centers of population have owed their existence to mining, milling, or smelting. Several agricultural communities were started and grew as a direct result of the requirements for adequate food supplies of the booming mining camps. In addition to the professional prospectors and miners who are seeking minerals for their commercial value, an increasingly large number of persons collect minerals solely for their beauty and rarity.
