More Mining History In A Tobacco Tin

Recommended Posts


It was the biggest lode gold mine of Yuma county, so much so that the entire range of mountains once named Stone House mountains was changed to Kofa mountains.  Kofa is King of Arizona and most of that area is now closed to prospecting in a wildlife refuge.  I went to Kofa High School in Sunny Yuma and never understood why we were the Kofa Kings until I started researching gold prospecting areas.  A great bit of history and I'm trying to find a home for the documents.

We always wondered where the name Kofa came from and now we know i sure do hope Steve can find a good home for  that  tin and its' contents.
