Old Iron Mining Bucket from Oracle, Arizona

Oracle is an old mining town just north of Tucson. Copper there was king, as it was in many a mining town in  southern Arizona. If you have a chance to visit the old mining towns in Arizona, do it. You will find out things that you never knew, and marvel at how 19th century people bore huge holes in the earth!
