Mining Tour: Part One
The Rocky Mountains
Albuquerque to Magdalena, Hatch, and Silver City NM to Morenci, Globe/Miami, Superior, and Phoenix Arizona.
This is a continuation of the Mining Tour: Part One, The Rocky Mountains.
We last saw our tour group of prominent and respected mining and metallurgical engineers as they left our plane in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They are touring mining areas as the economic boom after WW II requires massive amounts of metals, more than those consumed during the war. After a short break and rest, they are back to continue their investigation of active and potential mining properties in the Southwest of the United States, lands once controlled by the Apache, Navajo, and the Spaniards.
