In 1885 Lewis Williams opened a copper smelter in Bisbee, AZ and the copper boom began, as the nation turned to copper wires for electricity. The arrival of railroads in the 1880s made mining even more profitable, and national corporations bought control of the mines and invested in new equipment. Mining operations flourished in numerous boom towns, such as Bisbee, Douglas, Ajo and Miami.-wikipedia.org

The Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine is, according to legend, a rich gold mine hidden in the southwestern United States. The location is generally believed to be in the Superstition Mountains, east of Phoenix, Arizona. At American Mule, we cannot say we found the "gold mine" but we do have rad copper mugs -A metal that put our Copper State on the map.
