Richinbar Powerhouse, ca. 1900's.
The Richinbar Mine was gold mine located in Yavapai county, Arizona at an elevation of 3,451 feet.
The Richinbar mine was at an altitude of 3,500 feet on the western brink of Agua Fria Canyon, about 4 miles east of Bumblebee and 9 miles by road from Cordes.
From about 1905 to 1908, the Richinbar Mines Company carried on extensive development work at this property, built a 20-stamp mill, and, according to local reports, mined some 8,000 tons of ore that contained about $6 per ton in gold together with a little silver. Lindgren(70) states that, prior to 1922, the mine was operated by three different companies and, in 1917, was unwatered and retimbered. Early in 1933, the Sterling Gold Mining Corporation obtained control of the property and, prior to May, 1934, made some surface improvements and carried on a little underground work. Eight men were employed.
