The Bisbee Queen Mine Tour gets more than 50,000 visitors each year, and has been at this level for several decades. It’s the most popular destination the the southern Arizona city, with the highest numbers visiting in the first four months of the year.

Bisbee and the Queen are almost synonymous. The first company of any size was the Copper Queen Mining Co., which started working in 1880 in the general location of today’s tour. Another company, working the nearby Atlanta claim, was merged into the Copper Queen in the mid-’80s when both hit the same ore body at the same time. The merged company was the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Co., which became Phelps Dodge Corp. in 1917 and recently was acquired by Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold.

With that name dominating the community, many other businesses (often started by the mining company, carried it on, including the Copper Queen Hotel, the Copper Queen Community Hospital and the Copper Queen Library. Whether it’s called the Copper Queen, the Bisbee Queen (which actually was a separate mining claim) or just the Queen, the mine tour takes visitors back into some of the earliest workings of the local copper mines.

Why Bisbee is the Queen

Bisbee’s mines produced more gold and silver than any others in Arizona and in almost a century of operation yielded some 8 billion pounds of copper. There was a time, early in the 20th century, when the Bisbee mines produced about 10 percent of the world’s copper.

That’s why Bisbee was known as Queen of the Copper Camps.

The mine tour goes back about a quarter of a mile into Queen Hill, just outside the part of the city known as Old Bisbee. Between the Copper Queen mines and the city runs the Dividend fault. Way back in geologic time, the north side was faulted upward, some of it as much as a mile, and virtually all of the rich mineralization on the north side was eroded away. That’s why there are virtually no mine tunnels (called drifts) running under the town, while more than 2,000 miles of workings are on the south side of the fault.

The Bisbee Queen Mine Tour was developed in the mid-’70, when it became known that mining would be ending in Bisbee because of exhaustion of the ore body. Local leaders and miners took on themselves the project of rehabilitating the old workings closest to the city’s downtown, which hadn’t been used for decades, to serve as a window into historic mining. Bisbee would still be Queen in some ways.

The mine tour shows mining heritage from the 1920s and 1930s, but it’s easy for the tour guides to point out the parts of the mine that date back still another 50 years. Bisbee and its Queen help visitors bridge the gap of understanding about how men worked underground in the days before electricity and safety equipment, before automated machinery took much of the load off the skilled workers.

The Bisbee Queen Mine Tour is open every day except Thanksgiving and Christmas (and one day for concentrated safety training) and runs several tours a day.
