Description

Stoddard Copper Company Mine, 40 ton smelting furnace, and 3 1/2 Ft. Huntington Mill in the Agua Fria Mining District, Yavapai County, Arizona Territory.

The mine, mill and buildings were located at the north end of Copper Mountain at an elevation of 4,501 feet. It was one of the oldest copper producers on the Mountain. Its' main commodity was copper, with secondary commodities of lead, silver, zinc and gold.

The mining company was owned by Isaac T. Stoddard (b. 1851 - d. 1914) who served as the Secretary of the Arizona Territory from June 21, 1901 until March 18, 1904. Early on, Stoddard had been "one of the most persistent and zealous supporters of the Binghampton and other mines in that district." After his death, ownership of the mine passed to his son, Celora Stoddard, who sold his interests in the mine and properties to a Senator William H. Reyolds of New York. Senator Reynolds had been an original investor and partner with Issac Stoddard for the 14 years before Stoddard's death. Upon transfer of the mine and mill, the comany name was changed to the Arizona Binghampton Mining Company.
