Immense Copper Mining in Mexico at Nacozari
A vivid report from Nacozari Sonora describes vast copper workings near Pilaires six miles away with Montezuma Copper Co employing about 3000 workers, mostly Mexicans, while Americans fill clerical and official roles. Mines feed blister copper to Douglas Ariz smelters at around 14 cents a pound amid a local copper boom and hard travel by auto or rail through rough terrain.
