Stress in combat When the average person thinks about what they might do in a physical confrontation, they rarely consider the effects of STRESS. It is relatively easy to be rational and calm while weighing the options of one self-defense tactic over another as you lounge comfortably in the safety of your home. It is quite a different experience when confronted with threatening behavior that triggers the emotion of fear and the confusion conjured

up by thinking of all the potential outcomes of that violent encounter. A famous Boxer once succinctly remarked that, “everyone has a plan until they’re hit.” This is absolutely true. Fighters train to take the punishing blows of an opponent. The average person does not. When teaching at the Police Academy, I was often surprised by the number of cadets who had never experienced a strike to the face or head. Their

fi rst introduction to that sensation was eye opening for them. I reminded them that there is no head gear and protective gloves or referee while on patrol. When you are really “in it” and the danger of being hurt or worse is a factor, adrenalin is literally dumped into your body. Your heart is pounding. Blood leaves the extremities. Nausea is not uncommon. Eye sight is narrowed and restricted.

Breathing becomes diffi cult. Even physically fi t, young men can tire easily because they have not prepared themselves for the stress of combat and often hold their breath during the encounter. Certainly one’s thinking can be impaired. If you haven’t considered the effects of Stress – You Are Not Ready. Mr. Weber is the chief instructor at the Aikido Academy of Self-Defense

located at 16134 North Oracle Road, in Catalina. He has more than 40 years of experience in the Martial Arts and has achieved skills in a variety of disciplines. He also teaches Tai-Chi with classes on Wednesday from 11 a.m. to noon and Saturday from 9 to 10 a.m. Please call (520) 825-8500 for information regarding these and other programs.

“The best tournament of any of them around here,” is set for Saturday, April 21 at SaddleBrooke Ranch West golf course, off mile post 93 on Highway 77, just south of Oracle, according the the Knights of Columbus. The cost of the

tournament is $60 if paid by April 7 but $70 after that date and includes a cart and lunch, according to tournament director John Wahlmeier. “We’d like all of our friends to save April 21 for us and tell their friends what a great

Knights of Columbus golf tourney set for April 21

time they have at this tournament,” Wahlmeier said. Each year the Knights mix up the awarding of prizes so more than just the top teams get top prizes according to Wahlmeier. “Every golfer has a chance to win a

really great prize and we also have many, many raffl e prizes that help us award high school scholarships,” Wahlmeier added. For more information or to sign up, contact John Wahlmeier at (520) 385-4590 or cell phone (520) 610-1151.

By John Hernandez On Feb. 14, 2012, Arizona will celebrate its 100th birthday. One of the many celebrations nationwide was in Bisbee, Arizona. On February 15, 1912 the front page headline of the Bisbee Daily Review read “STATEHOOD IS ACHIEVED.” It reported that on February 12, 1912 at 08:02:30 mountain time, President Taft signed a proclamation admitting Arizona into the United States. As soon as the news was received on the telegraph in Bisbee the celebration began. The celebration started out with a bang. Forty-eight large bombs each made up of 10 sticks of dynamite tied together were set off one at a time. The 48 explosions represented each state culminating with Arizona now the 48th state of the United States. The suggested toast which was used by many in Arizona was, “Here’s to the state of Arizona, the nation’s Valentine.” The first governor to take the oath of office came from Globe in the Copper Corridor. He was George Wiley Paul Hunt. G.W.P. Hunt, as he was known, may have been one of the most popular governors in the state’s history. He was elected and served six terms. Hunt was considered a Progressive Era populist. He was a Democrat who supported women’s

suffrage, secret ballots, income tax, free silver coinage and compulsory education. He was against capital punishment and was considered a man of the people and friend to labor. He lobbied for legislation restricting child labor, lobbying, and usury. Hunt supported legislation for the creation of worker’s compensation, old age pensions and requirements for newspapers to disclose ownership. He would serve as governor during some of the roughest times in Arizona history. His early administrations would have to deal with violence on the Mexican border due to the Mexican Revolution. He would become involved in the labor movement in 1914 and deal with mine worker strikes and organized labor’s conflict with the Copper Barons during World War I. G.W.P. Hunt was born in Huntsville, Missouri on November 1, 1859. The town was named after his grandfather. His family had been wealthy but lost their fortune during the Civil War. Hunt left home in 1878 and made his way to Globe, Arizona. For three years his family believed he had been killed by Indians along the way. He arrived in Globe with two burros and went to work for the Pasco Café. He would then work at odd

Arizona’s first governor, GWP Hunt, from Copper Corridorjobs including work as a mucker at a mine and on a cattle ranch. He became a clerk at a general store which would be purchased by the Old Dominion Commercial Company where he would work his way up to become President. He would be elected as a U.S. Territorial Representative in 1892. He sponsored a bill offering a $5,000 reward for the capture of the Apache Kid. Hunt originally lost his third term election in 1916 to Thomas Edward Campbell by 30 votes. Hunt refused to leave office and contested the election claiming that several precincts were involved in fraudulent voting. He lost his first battle in court and Campbell was named de facto Governor January 27, 1917 and Hunt was

forced to leave office. He appealed the decision to the Arizona Supreme Court and was reinstated on December 25, 1917. The court had declared him winner of the election of 1916 by 43 votes. During Campbell’s time in office, the illegal deportations of striking miners in Jerome and Bisbee took place, dealing a huge blow to the labor movement in Arizona. Scholars believe that had Hunt been in office during that time, the deportations may not have taken place. In 1918, Hunt decided to not run for governor. He talked about running for the United States Senate but was appointed as U.S. Minister to Siam by President Wilson in 1919. In 1923 he was elected Governor of Arizona once more and would serve three consecutive

terms. During this time the primary political issue was the ratification of the Colorado River Compact. Hunt opposed it saying that California was receiving an unfair share of the water rights. He used the issue in his campaign and spoke

against it so much that Arizonans joked that Jesus may have walked on water but Governor Hunt ran on the Colorado River. He died on December 24, 1934. His body is interred in the white pyramid that sits on top of Papago Park in Phoenix.

Old stage station at Riverside, Pinal County where the Apache Kid was held prisoner the night before his final escape.

By John Hernandez Between 1875 and 1903, at least 134 stagecoaches were robbed on the highways of Arizona. More than half the robberies were never solved. Eighty robbers were caught, indicted, tried, convicted and sent to prison. Some were legally hanged for murders committed during the robberies, some were killed during pursuit by law enforcement and a few were lynched. Some of these robberies and killings were committed along the Florence to Globe stage route which included the stage stop at Riverside (near present day Kelvin). Johnny Collins was a Wells Fargo & Company messenger. A messenger or express messenger was a guard on a stagecoach or train that guarded a valuable private

shipment. They were more commonly called shotgun messengers as they typically carried a 10 or 12 gauge shotgun loaded with buckshot with them. The term “riding shotgun” came from the stagecoach guard who rode on the right hand side of the stagecoach next to the driver. Riding shotgun first appeared in fiction about the old west in 1905. Calling “shotgun” to sit in the front seat of the car next to the driver and by the passenger window became popular around 1954 when the term riding shotgun was used frequently in the popular western television series Gunsmoke. Johnny Collins was riding shotgun on Friday, August 10, 1883, on the stagecoach from Riverside to Globe. Johnny was 23

years old and had come from Fairfax County, Virginia to Arizona only a few years before. He had started working on the Florence to Globe stage route in April when he took the place of a Mr. Miller who had resigned to go prospecting in the Papago mining district. Watson Humphrey an experienced driver handled the reins of the stagecoach. Felix LeBlanc of Evans & Leblanc, merchants at Riverside was the passenger. They left the Riverside station around 8:45 p.m. The stagecoach was carrying $2,000 in silver and 800 in gold plus some cash. The silver was destined for Pioneer to pay the workers and the gold was bound for parties in Globe. Collins was armed with a shotgun and a revolver.

The stage was about two miles outside of Riverside on its way to the mining town of Pioneer when it slowed down as it approached an upgrade. It was then that all heck broke loose! Collins was struck in the neck and chin by shotgun pellets and by two large caliber rifle balls in the neck. He slumped over dead in the boot of the stage. The shooting continued, killing one of the horses and wounding another. Bullets flew close by the driver Humphrey penetrating his clothing and nicking him right above one of his knees. His whip stock was shot in half. Humphrey threw up his hands and screamed out, “For God’s sake stop shooting, you have killed one man, what more do you want!” The shooting stopped and the robbers

advanced towards the stagecoach from their hiding place. They had built breastworks on both sides of the road to catch the stagecoach in a cross fire. Humphrey would later resign his position as this had been the third time he had been robbed at gun

point along this same road. Felix LeBlanc was ordered out of the stage and told to drop all of his money on the ground. He was told to climb aboard the stage and help Humphrey retrieve the express box. Collin’s body

By Mila Lira Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) recently installed new signs that indicate portions of Highways 177 and 77 are designated at scenic highways. The designation is also marked on roadmaps. The application to

request the designation was submitted to ADOT by the Copper Corridor Economic Development Coalition (CCEDC) and was approved by the state transportation board of directors. The designation was part of an overall strategy by the CCEDC to attract more

tourists to the area by promoting the scenery of the area. The CCEDC is a regional group who works to improve the economic conditions in the region. They meet the third Friday of each month at 8:30 a.m. at the CAC Campus in Aravaipa.

was still slumped face down in the boot of the stage box and Humphrey and LeBlanc had to lift him up to get to the box. They were able to toss the heavy box off the wagon to the ground. LeBlanc was then ordered to open the box with a hatchet. It took him four solid hits before the lock broke. The gang of robbers then grabbed up the silver and gold and loaded it in a saddlebag. In their haste, they overlooked $620 cash. They also dropped a pair of leather saddlebags, a belt full of Winchester cartridges, some food and a custom made old fashioned dirk knife. The gang ordered LeBlanc and Humphrey to walk up the road towards Cane Springs and threatened to kill them if they tried to come back. The robbers then fled from the scene. The two members of the “Red Jack” gang rode over the hills to the San Pedro Road, a few miles above Riverside. There they stopped and loaded the loot into two bags and

placed it on one of the stagecoach horses they had stolen to use as a pack horse. Charley Hensley and Joe Tuttle were the shooters that ambushed and robbed the stage. They had been camping outside of Florence while their leader “Red Jack” Almer had been watching the stage line in town for nearly a week. He was also known by the aliases Jack Averill and Jack Elmer. The Red Jack gang was known for robbing stagecoaches in south eastern Arizona and around the Florence – Globe area. They were believed to hide out in the San Pedro Valley where they could flee into the nearby mountains and rugged country. Almer had been using the alias Jack Averill while staying in Florence. He was a drinker and gambler and had been seen in the local saloons. He had been watching the comings and goings of the stagecoaches. On the day of the robbery, he had watched as two Wells Fargo men had a hard time loading the express box which appeared to be heavy. Almer figured this would be the stage to rob so bought a ticket

to Riverside. Two of his partners Charley Hensley and Joe Tuttle had been waiting outside of Florence and after seeing he was on the stage rode to the location where they had planned to ambush the stagecoach. Red Jack got off the stage in Riverside and had asked some of the people there if anyone had left him a horse. He had seemed angry when they told him no. He was last seen on foot walking away from Riverside. Charley Hensley and Joe Tuttle followed the San Pedro Road and were seen passing through Dudleyville. As they rode by the Dudleyville store, some boys waved to them and shouted. “What’s your hurry?” They rode by the boys swiftly each man holding his pistol in his hand. They were last seen at the Perdue ranch a few miles outside of Dudleyville by Mrs. Perdue and Mrs. Pearson riding at a swift pace at around 5 a.m. LeBlanc and Humphrey walked three miles up the road near Cane Springs when they ran into the down stage from Globe to Florence. They told the driver, a man named McKenny about the robbery and killing of Johnny Collins. McKenny and several of the passengers decided to camp out at the springs as it was dark and they did not want to run into the robbers. In the morning they headed into Riverside, stopping at the murder scene. John

Jerman, a passenger on the stagecoach gave a deposition to the Coroner as to what he saw at the scene which later appeared in newspapers. “On my way to Florence about 5 o’clock we came to an abandoned east-bound coach. One lead

horse was dead. The young man Collins was lying across its body, dead face downward. We took him into Riverside.” The news of the robbery and murder did not reach Florence until 10 a.m. Saturday morning. Sheriff A.J. Doran was in the town of Pinal near present day Superior when he received the news. He telegraphed

deputies Scanland and Adams and told them to go to the robbery scene and follow the trail as far as they could. Doran said a posse would be formed and he would meet them at Riverside. Former Pinal County Sheriff J.P. “Pete” Gabriel was at Riverside on mining business when he heard

Raffle winner announcedThe happy winner of the Desert View Panorama was Pam Burke from Casa Grande. The beautiful print was generously donated by Don and Sandy Libby of Iron Creek Photography (SaddleBrooke) to the Safe Journey House of San Manuel which serves and protects victims of domestic abuse. The Libbys heard of the group’s need for funds through friend and Iron Creek Photography fan Patrice Ross. If you’d like to see the print in all it’s colorful glory, number 20 of 25 is currently on display at Claire’s Gallery in Catalina. Iron Creek Photography has a very busy month ahead with a show in Jackson Hole, Wyoming planned in February. Below is an image also courtesy of Iron Creek Photography.

the news of the robbery and murder. He heard the story of Jack Averill inquiring about a horse and from the description witnesses gave him, he surmised that it was Red Jack and his gang who had robbed the stage. Gabriel began forming a posse. He went to Putnam’s

store to secure arms and ammunition. While there the posse members ran into Sheriff Doran who had been investigating the robber’s camp in the mountains. Thomas F. Weedin, the Editor of the Arizona Weekly Newspaper out of Florence was also there. Doran asked him if he wanted to ride in the posse. He accepted and his newspaper coverage of the robbery would be a

firsthand account. At 10 p.m. the posse headed in the direction of the San Pedro River. They reached Dudleyville around midnight. There they learned that Red Jack had paid $15 to one of Mr. Finch’s sons to take him up the river as far as Captain Cage’s place. Red Jack had told the boy that he would reach the Redfield’s ranch that night even if he had to steal a horse. They

borrowed two Winchester rifles and a six gun from Alex L. Pam owner of the Dudleyville store and then headed down the San Pedro Road towards the Redfield ranch. Around daylight they found the other posse members, Scanland, Adams and Harrington, camped at Mesaville, a small settlement along the San Pedro River near the Old Camp Grant site. Scanland and the others had been trailing the robbers. After a short rest, the posse resumed the pursuit of the

Red Jack gang. Around noon they arrived at Frank Shields place along the San Pedro River. Mr. Shields furnished them with fresh horses. While there a young man named Huntley came up to them and told them he was the one who had taken Red Jack from Dudleyville down the San Pedro road. Huntley told the Sheriff that about a mile and a half above Frank Shield’s place they had met Jack Carpenter. Carpenter and Red Jack both dismounted and walked away from

Huntley talking in low tones so Huntley could not hear them. They both came back and Carpenter gave Red Jack his horse and $10 to pay Huntley with. Red Jack then headed down the San Pedro road towards the Redfield Ranch while Carpenter and Huntley headed for Mesaville. The Redfield Ranch had been started up by Leonard “Lem” (also referred to as Len in newspaper articles and books) and Henry “Hank” Redfield. They

SaddleBrooke resident and author, Richard L. Hamilton, has written a story in collaboration with his grandson Sean. In Pals Forever a black Labrador tells the story of his adventurous and event fi lled life in rural Michigan. He is descended from AKC championship stock, and early on “Spadie Boy” shows his adopted family that he is worthy of his heritage. You are fortunate if at some point in your life you have a pet that you can call your friend, and

doubly fortunate if the pet can call you a friend. “Spadie Boy” was that kind of dog. In Pals Forever, he tells his story in his own words. Perhaps his recollections will cause you to refl ect on the fond memories of your dog, or of a dog that was once your best friend, and to refl ect on those long ago memories of you being his best friend. Join a black Labrador on his journey, and be reminded of the simple pleasures of raking leaves, only to play in the pile, and taking long walks just to see what might

be stirring in the woods, or hunting upland game birds on a colorful warm autumn day. If you are not already convinced that having a dog will make you a better person, Spade will convince you. The graphite pencil sketches by Sean L. Hamilton, the book’s illustrator, are a distinguishing feature of the book. His artistic renderings display thematic captions that draw the reader into the two-dozen narratives of “Spadie Boy’s” life. Richard and his wife

Ruth Ann have been SaddleBrooke residents since 1999. He is the author of Shiloh to Durham Station, 18th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment: With Captain Robert S. McMichael’s Civil War Letters; Oh! Hast Thou Forgotten, Michigan Cavalry in the Civil War: The Gettysburg Campaign; The Plant: Oh Quality Where Art Thou; and managing editor of A Man From Montana by Freeman Halverson. The books are available in paperback and Kindle on Amazon.com.

SaddleBrooke author has new release

were New Yorkers who had settled near present day Redington in the San Pedro Valley. They were some of the fi rst settlers in the area in 1875. Henry Redfi eld was the fi rst postmaster for the town of Redington which the Redfi elds founded in 1879 and bears part of their name. They had wanted to name the area Redfi eld but the Postal Service turned that name down. Redfi eld Canyon still bears their name. They had both become successful ranchers although the Redfi eld Ranch was suspected of being a haven for organized robbers such as the Red Jack gang. In 1881 there was an attempted robbery of the Benson to Tombstone stage coach in which the driver of the stage and a passenger were killed. A posse which included Virgil, Morgan and Wyatt Earp as well as Bob Paul, the shotgun messenger of the stage, trailed the robbers down the San Pedro Valley. They arrested Luther King at Lem and Hank Redfi eld’s ranch. He had been working for the Redfi elds for a couple of weeks. King gave up the names of the other participants in the robbery attempt. King would


disappear after allegedly escaping while under the care of Sheriff John Behan. This stage robbery and its aftermath helped infl ame the Earp-Clanton feud which led to the gunfi ght at the OK Corral. The Redfi elds were not implicated in the robbery or as accomplices. One book about Wyatt Earp alleges that Hank Redfi eld rode away from his ranch after the posse left to warn the robbers that the posse was on their trail and knew who they were. When Sheriff Doran’s posse arrived at the Redfi eld Ranch around 7 p.m., they were expecting a fi ght so approached

cautiously. At the ranch they found Joe Tuttle and Lem Redfi eld who offered no resistance. Both men denied being involved in the robbery when questioned. Thomas Weedin wrote in his newspaper that both men were “as meek as doves and shook from head to foot” while being questioned. The posse spent the night at the ranch posting a guard to watch Redfi eld and Tuttle. In the morning Sheriff Doran and his men searched the Redfi eld property and found a U.S. mail bag of the same type carried by stagecoaches and a recently discharged

shotgun hidden under a pile of manure. Redfi eld and Tuttle were arrested and handcuffed. It was decided that the Sheriff and the posse would take Tuttle and Redfi eld to Florence while Pete Gabriel would continue to look for the trail of Red Jack and anyone with him. Along the way to Florence, the posse stopped at Mesaville a small town on the San Pedro River near Old Camp Grant. While there they took Lem Redfi eld’s nephew Frank Carpenter into custody. Carpenter was suspected of being one of the gang members and an accessory to the stage robbery.

At the mouth of the Aravaipa River, the posse found a portion of the stage harness reins apparently dropped by the fl eeing robbers. They continued up to Dudleyville. It was there that Carpenter gave his uncle Lem away. Deputy Sheriff Scanland had the saddlebags found at the robbery scene on his saddle. Carpenter pointed to them and said “Lem, those fellows have got your saddlebags.” Lem angrily retorted, “Shut up!” After arriving in Florence, Sheriff Doran brought his prisoners to Judge Thomas who ruled that there was enough evidence to hold them in jail. The prisoners were placed in the Florence Jail and Deputy Scanland was put in charge of them. On Monday morning, Sept. 3, Deputy U.S.

The Winter Solstice was extra special last month for Boyce Thompson Arboretum visitor Keith Story and other photographers who saw and got pictures of this mirror-like refl ection shining for a few brilliant minutes and refl ecting off the large cross that stands on a cliff just below the peak of Picket Post Mountain. During the fi nal weeks of December and lasting through the New Year, the bright light was clearly visible if you were standing outside the east entrance of the BTA visitor center, just as you begin walking the main trail, and could be seen each sunny morning at 8:25 a.m. for about fi ve minutes while the angle of the sun was just right. Arboretum staff report “the fl ash” is also visible when they drive along Highway 60 near milepost 224 for a few weeks during summertime when the angle of the sunrise is just right. Superior residents - have you ever seen this, or photographed it? And do you know who put the cross up there in the fi rst place? Tell us the story - email [email protected] if you know the background of this cross up on Picket Post Mountain. You can also email your own “cross fl ash” photo to the same address and we’ll post them on the Copperarea Facebook page. (Keith Story photo)

“Cross Flash”

Marshal Evans along with Hank Redfi eld and a posse of seven men arrived in Florence at 5 a.m. Marshal Evans had a writ issued by Judge Pinney commanding him to take custody of Len Redfi eld and escort him to Phoenix. Word had reached Tucson and Redington that the sentiment in Florence was that the robbers of the stage coach should be quickly tried by a citizens committee and executed. Hank Redfi eld fearing his brother would be lynched went to the authorities


in Tucson requesting their assistance. Joseph Wiley Evans was a well respected law man. He had worked as an express man for the Arizona Stage Company and later served as a special agent for Wells Fargo until his appointment as a U.S. Marshal in 1880. He was present in Tombstone during the gunfi ght at the OK Corral. The Earps were friends of his and it is alleged that he helped the Earps escape Tucson after they killed Frank Stillwell at the railroad station. He was considered one of the most capable lawmen in

the western United States between 1877 and 1887. What was more astounding was that he had only one arm. While working for the stage company he got into a dispute with one of the drivers by the name of James Carroll. It lead to a gunfi ght where Evans killed Carroll but was wounded in the arm. His wound got infected and his left arm was amputated at the elbow. The plan was for Marshal Evans and his posse to secure Lem Redfi eld and remove him from the jail and See Riverside, Page 17

Compiled by John Hernandez The town of Oracle was founded in 1880. In 1912 the economic development of Oracle and the surrounding areas relied mainly on ranching, health-seekers, tourists and mining. William Fredrick “Buffalo Bill” Cody was one of the more famous prospectors who were seeking their fortune in the hills surrounding Oracle. His mine was the Campo Bonito camp. News of Buffalo Bill and

Oracle in 1912 and the newshis mine were reported in the Arizona newspapers of the time as well as events in and around Oracle. The following news about Oracle appeared in Arizona newspapers in 1912:February 21, 1912 Bisbee Daily Review For a visit to the Camp Bonito mine, near Oracle, Mr. and Mrs. W.F. Cody arrived in Tucson last week, accompanied by I.W. Getchell, consulting engineer, and Mike Russel, who is connected with “Buffalo Bill” in the management of his Wyoming enterprises. Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, who was to have accompanied the Cody’s to Tucson, was prevented from doing so by sudden indisposition, but hopes to join them within a few days and visit the Campo Bonito mine. The party left for Oracle yesterday.May 5, 1912 Bisbee Daily Review The Campo Bonito mine

at Oracle the property of “Buffalo Bill Cody and D. B. Dyer of Kansas City, has been closed down temporarily. It is stated that Col. Cody has spent $100,000 on the property since he took hold of it.August 28, 1912 Weekly Journal-Miner As a result of a duel fought about a week ago with guns near Campo Bonito not far from Oracle, Jose Ramirez has been given a hearing before the Justice of the Peace at Oracle and held to the grand jury of Pinal County while Thomas Torres, who was shot three times and clubbed with a gun, is missing but is believed to be on the road to recovery, possibly in Tucson.May 21, 1912 Bisbee Daily Review It is planned in Tucson to expend the sum of $1,000 in improving the highway from that city to Oracle. Oracle which has an elevation 2,000 feet more

than Tucson, is rapidly becoming the summer home of Tucsonans who own automobiles, and good roads are an important factor to it.June 23, 1912 Between 40 and 50 families have left Tucson within the last month for the cool heights of the Catalinas, according to H. King of Hayhurst and King. The season at Oracle

has begun and 20 families are there enjoying the cool breezes that sweep down from the majestic peaks of the Catalina range.June 2, 1912 Tombstone Epitaph The record price for one year old steers was secured at Tucson by J.M. Ronstadt for a herd of 700 Arcade cattle which were sold to W. O’Brien of Hereford, Texas, at $22 per head.

These cattle were from the ranches of Col. Sturgis and J.M. Ronstadt, both of them located in Oracle.March 3, 1912 Tombstone Epitaph With fear of the gallows attributed as the cause, Charles Weeks, the black who killed Ruperto Torres at Oracle, died in a cell in the Pinal County Jail, his terror tormenting him until relieved by death.

RiversideContinued from Page 16transport him to Phoenix that morning. Evans served the writ to Deputy Scanland and asked to take custody of Redfield immediately. Scanland stalled and asked for some time to contact Sheriff Doran to get his permission before letting Evans have his prisoner. Evans posted his posse members around the jail guarding the prisoners. Jesse Hardesty, a District Attorney for Pinal County protested the guards at the jail. He and Deputy Scanland told Evans that a U.S. Marshal had no authority to guard and control a county jail. Evans withdrew the guards and they left the jail. Hank Redfield rode to Picacho to wire for more cowboys to come to Florence. News of the marshal’s arrival stirred up the citizens of Florence. Rumors were spread that Evans was wiring for troops to come to town. Meetings were held by a citizen’s group and it was determined that Lem Redfield should not be permitted to leave Florence alive.

By Mila Lira Arizona’s Copper Corridor is a sisterhood of towns and communities that have all been connected through some of Arizona’s 5 Cs. The 5 Cs are what Arizona’s economy has been built around: Copper, Cattle, Cotton, Climate and Citrus. The Copper Corridor is primarily known for its rich copper ore deposits, cattle ranching and desirable climate. As the cyclical nature of mining has made its boom and bust economic impact on each of these 11 mining communities the region as a whole is being recognized as a place to experience some of Arizona’s undiscovered art, history and nature. The Bullion Plaza Museum in Miami, the Gila County Historical Museum in Globe, the Bob Jones Museum in Superior and the Oracle Historical Society each have great exhibits on the history of the region and their individual communities. While there are no designated mine tours in the area, by traveling through some of our scenic roads you can see mining operations including the Asarco open pit near Kearny. Most of the museums also have displays on former and current mining practices.

Between Superior and Miami on US 60 you can see the number 9 and 10 shafts of the Resolution Copper Project that will take miners 7,000 feet below the earth’s surface to mine one of the richest untapped copper resources in North America. If you are looking for outdoor activities and to experience nature there are ample opportunities to hike, bike, quad or horseback ride through some Arizona’s most beautiful, undisturbed Sonoran desert. The Arizona Trail which was designated as a National Scenic Trail travels through the entire Copper Corridor allowing hikers to journey through the entire state of Arizona from north to south. The Gila River near Winkelman also allows for many outdoor recreational activities and bird watching. Renowned attractions such as the Biosphere and Oracle State park near Oracle, the Boyce Thompson Arboretum near Superior and Besh Ba Gowah archeological park in Globe are great places to visit and all three have special events that happen throughout the year. If you are looking for unique shopping opportunities there are antique stores and boutiques throughout the

region. With the beautiful scenery and ideal location, the Copper Corridor has become home to many artists throughout the region. There are murals, statues and art galleries showcasing the works of many local and regional artists. A stop at the Cobre Valley Center for the Arts in Globe is a must for the art aficionado. You won’t find many commercial food chains in this undiscovered section

of Arizona but you will find authentic homemade Mexican food, and unique mom and pop style dining choices with plenty of choices to suit everyone. The region sits just above the smog of Phoenix and Tucson but just below the snow of Arizona’s high country making the region a great day trip for visitors from the metro areas.
