Odds and Ends with some other State Historical Happenings
This page contains some Arizona historical photos I have come across that are not necessarily related to mining but provide an insight into some of Arizona's history.
 Bee A. Brother's Cabin Located in the Santa Rita Mountains. Built by Bee and his friend "old Man Wilson" in 1929. Wilson lived in the basement. Bee, his wife Helen, and children George and Flossie. |  Cienega Bridge is an open-spandrel arch bridge located near Vail Arizona. The bridge crosses the Pantano Wash with construction starting in 1920 and completing in 1921. This bridge was significant as it was part of US 80 the transcontinental highway running from Tybee Island, Georgia to San Diego, California. US 80 was replaced by Interstate 10 in 1977. The Cienega bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 30, 1988. |  Boiler Located Near the Dean Mine in the Hualapai Mountians Near Kingman |

The extension would run north to south across the base and eventually connect to Interstate 10. I worked on servicing support equipment for this project. |
 This unique caterpillar scraper with the conveyor belt was used to move dirt for the Kolb Road extension through Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. The dirt was moved to create the bridge that now goes over the rail road tracks on Alvernon Rd. |  What is this contraption?

Portions of the tank have been cut away so it could not be used again. |  Unknown Miners at camp most likely in Mohave County.

 The 3 Way Drive In was located in Greenlee County at the intersection of U.S. Route 191, Arizona State Route 75, and Arizona State Route 78. It featured three screens when it was in operation.
