Operation Dates:  N/A

 

Description:  Sayers Post Office was established November 17, 1908 with George Sayers as the postmaster.  The exact location is unknown. (Arizona Place Names)

 

Sayer spring is a source of water for the ranchers and wildlife in the hot desert area.

 

What you will see today:  There is a small broken wall with the name Sayer Spring written on it.  The spring is a short walk up a trail behind some trees.  The water is piped down to the lower, level ground for cattle and wildlife to drink.  I have seen a small door protecting the water supply but it is not locked and a small pool of water can be seen inside.  A date is etched into the concrete just inside the door reading 8-7-26.

 

Comments:  This is not a mine but is located in an area that was heavily mined and provides water for livestock.  I felt it was worth mentioning as it is part of the mining area history.

 

Minerals Mined:  N/A
