Interesting stories. 6 miles southwest of the San Xavier Mission is a large open pit copper mine still worked today. It was formed by merging several smaller mines into what is known as the Mission Complex Mine. This is in the vacinity of the reported location of the La Esmeralda Mine. The interesting part is this deposit wasn't discovered until 1950 when it was located by 200 foot deep test holes. Nothing of the deposit showed on the surface. My theory is the La Esmeralda lies 12 miles SW of the mission in the Sierrita Mountains.
I wish this guy would quit chopping up the words San Xavier and the papago tribe??? It sounds horrible when he pronounces those words, san haveer, and papago easy to pronounce just the way it's spelled okay.
As an AZ resident, born and raised, these stories are my favorite. I’d love to hear an episode about Prescott. Also known as Preskit
Thanks for input
