Description:
In response to the demand for a brief historical review of the mineral
industry in Arizona, the Arizona Bureau of Mines issued in 1951 the
publication titled "The Mineral Resources of Arizona" as Bulletin 159
of its Mineral Technology Series. Inasmuch as the information contained
therein has been much sought after, especially by high school students
and laymen, in general, and as considerable advances have been made in
mining in Arizona since 1951, it has been deemed expedient to give additional
service by issuing this extensive revision of the earlier bulletin. It
is hoped this revised work, carrying the title "The Mineral Industries of
Arizona - A Brief History of the Development of Arizona's Mineral
Resources" and identified as Bulletin 169, will serve as a ready reference
for information of general interest concerning the nature, occurrence,
mining history, and production of the more important economic mineral
materials of Arizona. 20 p.
