Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventeen-year-old Matt Bowden is convinced that his uncle didn't commit suicide. Matt believes his favorite uncle's murder has something to do with the book he was writing about Southwest mines and treasures. Matt is determined to find out who killed Uncle Jonas and why. Matt returns to his uncle's house and searches for a clue. He copies all of his uncle's computer files on the new book he was writing and also finds a phone message from a man named Art Fogle, a university history professor. Matt soon learns that Fogle was killed in a hit-and-run accident, only hours before Matt found his murdered uncle. Just a coincidence, or is there a connection between Art Fogle's and Uncle Jonas' deaths? Matt asks the soon-to-retire homicide detective, John Pawlowski, for help. From his uncle's files, Matt learns that Uncle Jonas borrowed a valuable Spanish document--alluding to a fortune in gold and silver--from a Mrs. Garcia. Matt goes to see the Mexican woman and meets her granddaughter, Susan Martinez. With his uncle dead and the Spanish document missing, Matt agrees to help Susan find her grandmother's treasure document. The trail leads Matt and Susan to a man named Phil Simpson, a local authority on Southwest mines and treasures. After their visit, Simpson dies mysteriously, when his house burns down. Detective John Pawlowski is now convinced that all three deaths are tied to the missing Spanish document. All Matt, Susan and John have to do now is stay one step ahead of the killer and find the Spanish treasure before anyone else is murdered.

Book Synopsis Southwestern New Mexico Mining Towns by : Jane Bardal
Download or read book Southwestern New Mexico Mining Towns written by Jane Bardal and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanish and American prospectors discovered gold, silver, and copper mines in southwestern New Mexico in the 1800s. This volume explores the further development of these mining operations into the early 1900s. During this time period, improvements in technology made mining profitable, and eastern corporations invested in New Mexico mines. World War I created a demand for copper, and this era saw the development of paternalistic company towns. Miners faced difficult and dangerous working conditions, but their lives improved compared to previous generations. Many of the towns and the people in southwestern New Mexico owed their livelihood, in whole or in part, to mining. Some of these places have disappeared entirely, some are ghost towns, and others are thriving communities.

Book Synopsis Santa Rita del Cobre by : Christopher J. Huggard
Download or read book Santa Rita del Cobre written by Christopher J. Huggard and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2020-01-27 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An account of the rise and fall of a mining town over two centuries, including photos: “An excellent story of the people and their community.” ―New Mexico Historical Review The Spanish, Mexicans, and Americans, successively, mined copper for more than two hundred years in Santa Rita, New Mexico. Starting in 1799 after an Apache man led the Spanish to the native copper deposits, miners at the site followed industry developments in the nineteenth century to create a network of underground mines. In the early twentieth century these works became part of the Chino Copper Company’s open-pit mining operations—operations that would overtake Santa Rita by 1970. In Santa Rita del Cobre, Christopher Huggard and Terrence Humble detail these developments with in-depth explanations of mining technology, and describe the effects on and consequences for the workers, the community, and the natural environment. Originally known as El Cobre, the mining-military camp of Santa Rita del Cobre ultimately became the company town of Santa Rita, which after World War II evolved into an independent community. From the town’s beginnings to its demise, its mixed-heritage inhabitants from Mexico and the United States cultivated rich family, educational, religious, social, and labor traditions. Extensive archival photographs, many taken by officials of the Kennecott Copper Corporation, accompany the text, providing an important visual and historical record of a town swallowed up by the industry that created it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Track pirate gold and misplaced riches across 168 counties in this comprehensive guide to the lost treasures of Texas. Countless fortunes have disappeared into the vast expanse of the Lone Star State. The history of the coast is cluttered with shipwrecks like that of the 1554 Spanish fleet. Even when pirates such as Jean Laffite managed to get their ill-gotten gains ashore, their loot vanished just as completely as if it had sunk beneath the waves. Entire mines, including the ventures of Jim Bowie and San Saba Presidio, have been reclaimed by the earth. The unmarked caches of bandits like Jesse James and Pancho Villa still bedevil the dreams of treasure seekers today. W. Craig Gaines reveals what has been lost, what has been found and what remains to be recovered.

Book Synopsis Treasure of the Sangre de Cristos by : Arthur Leon Campa
Download or read book Treasure of the Sangre de Cristos written by Arthur Leon Campa and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of tales and traditions from the Southwest includes stories of lost mines stacked with bars of gold, mule loads of silver cached away in outlaw hoards, and fabulous Jesuit treasures buried when that order was expelled from New Spain. Some treasure locations would be rediscovered by chance or by an old map-and somehow always lost again. But not all these folk teasures are of material wealth. There is the story of a nun who loved a soldier and repented, and whose kneeling figure may still be seen as a mountain rock formation. There is the Hermit of Las Vegas, an actual person who, after traveling between Argentina and Quebec, settled in New Mexico, where he became the subject of affectionate legends.
