Hermosa Mining Echoes From Chloride to Long Nine
A historical sketch of Hermosa and Chloride mining traces the Wall Street claim later renamed Long Street, the Long Nine founders led by Richard White and Edward Foster, and early clashes with Apache warriors. It surveys Antelope Ocean Wave Longfellow groups, rich ore bodies, and stubborn development challenges amid a growing camp. It notes improvised, costly methods and a bold episode of Mrs. B. Le Ayres locating the Happy Dream claim along the main mineral belt.
