The Arizona Gold Rush 1880s
There is - or was - a
great mine that contained gold mined from the inner basin of the Cañada
del Oro riverbed. The gold was mined by the natives. But, it wasn't
their choice.
The legend of the Iron Door
Mine has the Spanish
missionaries, and military, controlling the mines for their own and
using the natives as slaves. Time passes, the location of the mine
disappears, then it is found, then disappears off and on for centuries.
While some of history does confirm portions of this story, the legend of
a lost mission, a lost city and lost mine still endure.
Newspaper articles, family
stories and some archeological evidence and historical documentation has
uncovered some truth to this legend.
