Mining
Highlights the contribution of Phelps-Dodge, one of
five major copper mining firms in Arizona, to the nation's and the
world's copper supply. Arizona is the largest copper producing
state in the U.S., and many communities such as Globe, Kearney,
Morenci, Miami, and San Manuel owe their existence to the copper
mines.
