Lordsburg mining district

Lead
The Lordsburg mining district in western New Mexico is a revived historic camp that has produced silver, gold, and copper, and by 1912 was considered one of the largest shipping camps in the entire southwest [1][2].

By April 1912 the district had experienced three periods of boom and near-abandonment before its final rejuvenation [1][2]. It was then the scene of great activity, not a new district but an old camp revived through persistent work and favorable ore conditions [1][2].
