Notes |
The Grand Gulch Mine represents the challenges small late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century mine companies faced when trying to exploit economic minerals in isolated and inhospitable areas of the desert and mountain west. Burdened by a remote site where even water had to be hauled in but emboldened by the promise of profitable returns, the mine's owners consistently sought to improve the transportation connections that linked the mine to its suppliers and markets. Their efforts relied on regional railroad development, which gradually reduced the difficult wagon haul to about 140 miles in 1899, 73 miles in 1905, and finally to 45 miles in 1912, at each step decreasing the cost of freighting and expanding the range of ore grades the mine could economically send to market. The mine lies within Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument. The original 20.66-acre Adam Lode mining claim, officially located June 23, 1873, and patented October 5, 1883, remains in private hands at the heart of the site. The balance of the mine is on public land and is managed by the Bureau of Land Management in cooperation with the National Park Service.
