Romance and history of the Santa Rita copper mines
The Santa Rita copper mines in New Mexico, now part of Chino Copper, are traced from early Apache contact and Mexican concessions through 19th century leasing and conflicts. The tale covers Elguea’s 1804 mint contract, primitive mining with prison labor, intermittent operations after Apache depredations, and attempts by James Pattle and later Hayes to gain title, ending with unresolved Elguea heirs’ disputes.
