I’ll bet you have some stories. I worked with a couple of miners who had worked at Miami East before the underground operation ceased.
Mom’s grandparents and mother got run out of Mexico by Poncho Villa and ended up in Globe, so I’m guessing it was closer to 1915 than 1900. They were mining people.
My grandfather used to talk about going on picnics to indian ruins and sorting through their trash...Moccasins, utensils, pottery, etc. All of it must have been at least 500 years old but it was just trash to them. Wish I had some of it now.
