Oro Blanco Mining District and Ruby, Arizona Research


Our research target is the Oro Blanco Mining District, along the south-central Arizona border with Mexico, and the surrounding area. We have collected data on all known mines (e.g., over 5000 location notices); mining documents and reports; relevant people, articles, letters, and thousands of photos. Al Ring is the keeper of this data, currently stored in over 150 two-inch three-ring notebooks and in over 25 gigabytes of computer memory. We are willing to share this data with interested parties – just contact us. In the future we hope to make some of this data available via our website. Stay tuned. We are also always looking for new data!

This is a section that we will be working on as time permits.  We have so much information and photos that we will be adding to this site as soon as possible.
