Jorge Torres is the weekday afternoon meteorologist on ABC15.
Nestled along the banks of the San Pedro River in Pinal County are scenes that tell the story of Arizona: wide open spaces, habitat for wildlife, and saguaros as far as the eye can see.There is a chance, however, that the open views that Mammoth has been accustomed to since the 1870s might be replaced by another view that also tells the story of Arizona’s economy and livelihood long before the Copper State even became a state: mining.
'There are still active copper mines near Mammoth. The Ray Mine, north of Kearny, is one of the largest copper mines in Arizona and one of the largest open pits in the United States.Karen Crawford, who was born in Ray when it was a town, doesn’t want Mammoth to share the same fate.“When I heard that, it really made me sad,” she stated.She now resides in California but grew up along the Copper Corridor, with her father working as an electrician at the nearby smelter in Hayden.
