| San Manuel Ore Cart Selection | ||
"I am interested in showing the sheer manual labor historically involved in the mining of Arizona’s copper by depicting as bas relief, a life-size miner positioned over a large boulder hand drilling with a three-pound hand sledge and moil, the holes needed to place the dynamite. I think that the ore car should be positioned beside the boulder and filled with some large and colorful, copper silicate, blue-green boulders of such size as not to be stolen and which can be cemented down in the cart." - C.W. Hill

I'm an artist blacksmith who had lived in Brewery Gulch, Bisbee for twenty years and has acquired the blacksmithing tools from the Douglas Smelter and the mine in Bisbee. I competed in the hard rock drilling contest for most of those years and finally in 1992, on the Fourth of July, took first place with the deepest hole in ten minutes receiving a $600 prize.
I also took first place the following Labor Day. I had lived among the miners when the mine was still going and worked for the salvers of the mine when it closed.
