Cumberland Mining Company, Turkey Creek District, Bradshaw Mountains, Yavapai County, Arizona Territory, c. 1903.
The Cumberland Mine was a gold mine located in Yavapai County, Arizona at an elevation of 5,801 feet. The photograph shows the 10 stamp mill, amalgamation and concentration operations of the mine.
The following description was provided by the Western Mining History website with text from Arizona Lode Gold Mines and Gold Mining, Arizona Bureau of Mines. Original 1934, revised 1967.
‘The Cumberland is described by Lindgren as follows: "The Cumberland mine is one mile north of Pine Flat and was last in operation about 1908. According to information obtained from T. Roach, of Pine Flat, this is a gold quartz vein striking a little east of north and dipping west. The shaft is 350 feet deep and there are short drifts. The shoot on the north is said to have continued to the lowest workings; it contains ore of $40 grade, which was treated in a 10-stamp mill at Pine Flat. The gold is reported as free and visible in places. The water level was found at a depth of 90 feet."
“It is probable that here, as in many other places, the conditions became unfavorable when the workings reached the sulphide ore below water level. There is said to be placer ground in the vicinity of the Cumberland mine.” ‘
