Phelps-Dodge Miami Operations
An editor removed a link to this page as "spam":


 * Phelps Dodge, Miami Operations

The Phelps-Dodge operations are the economic backbone of Miami, and this page simply gives some information about the operation. I've restored the link. Cheers, Pete Tillman 20:25, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Mexican and Mexican American History section
I tagged this section for maintenance and removed a signature line, "by Dr. Christine Marin, Professor Emeritus, Arizona State University. inserted Dec. 2012." Section was inserted by user:Doctorotto1. If the information can be referenced and is not OR or copyvio, I'd say it warrants its own article, no? --Fullobeans (talk) 22:16, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Miami Mine names confusion
What's now known as the Miami mine was originally several individual deposits, many owned by Inspiration Copper, but the Bluebird mine was owned and operated by an independent operator, until the property was bought by Inspiration or a successor company.

The largest individual deposit is the great Miami-Inspiration deposit, which had two operators for many years (and may still). The Miami Copper Company operated the east end of the deposit as the Miami Mine, and also mined a deeper, high-grade deposit underground as the Miami East mine. There is another, deeper deposit east of Miami East, which is inconveniently directly under the International Smelter. The smelter would be destroyed if the latter were mined, so there it sits, for now. Last owner I know of was BHP.

Note the name confusion, as Freeport calls their end of the property the Miami Mine. It is composed of the old Inspiration mine and various smaller pits, all of which are idle at present. As is the BHP Miami mine, unless its leach plant still operates.

I used to work there (for BHP) but I'm not up to date on the current situation. I plan to look into it one of these days..... --Pete Tillman (talk) 20:12, 23 June 2018 (UTC)


 * See Miami-Inspiration deposit for a good discussion of the larger deposit, and some of the individual mine names. This might be a good start on a new article on the M-I deposit. --Pete Tillman (talk) 20:15, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Proposed Merge
Proposal to merge List_of_historic_properties_in_Miami,_Arizona with Miami, Arizona Are there other examples of small towns having separate articles devoted specifically to historic properties? I could see a separate article for a large city (i.e. Miami, FL), since the main article may be too large, but as half of the source article is actually devoted to the history of the town, it seems more appropriate that into the destination article. 97.102.30.205 (talk) 18:52, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Not to be merged. The list is a well written "list" which is part of a series related to historic structures in the cities, towns and CDP's in Arizona. Tony the Marine (talk) 02:04, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
