1. Title: "Oliver Shaft, Calumet & Arizona Mine, Bisbee, Arizona, USA: A Glimpse into the Past of Copper Mining" This evocative photograph captures the essence of the early 1900s copper mining boom in Bisbee, Arizona, USA. The image focuses on the Oliver Shaft, a prominent structure of the Calumet & Arizona Mine, which was once a significant contributor to the region's economic growth. The Oliver Shaft, named after Oliver L. Hazard Perry, a prominent investor, stands tall against the arid Arizona sky. Its industrial design, with intricate ironwork and substantial dimensions, speaks to the engineering prowess of the time. The shaft, which served as a vertical access point to the underground mine, was essential for the extraction of copper ore. The surrounding landscape is barren, with rocky terrain and a few scattered trees, reflecting the harsh desert climate. The image also reveals the close proximity of the mine to the residential area, as evidenced by the houses and buildings in the background. This juxtaposition highlights the interconnectedness of mining and community life during this era. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual representation of the challenges and triumphs experienced during the copper mining boom in Bisbee, Arizona. The image serves as a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of those who sought to harness the natural resources of the land, shaping the history of the region and the United States as a whole. The Oliver Shaft, with its imposing presence, stands as a symbol of the rich history of copper mining in Bisbee, Arizona. This photograph invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the significant role mining played in the development of the American West.
