It has the Colt factory letter describing it as a .32/20 caliber, 5 1/2 in. barrel, blued frame, the stocks are not listed. According to the letter it was shipped to the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Co. in Bisbee, Territory of Arizona on August 23, 1907 in a shipment of five. The Copper Queen is a massive mining project in Arizona that required the protection of a large security force, arming their security staff with Colt revolvers. The actual number of Colts sold to the Copper Queen is unknown according to the Colt Manufacturing Co. but thought to be very limited between dates 1900 and 1909. This one has its original 5 1/2 in. barrel length, a rich brown patination that shows no attempt of rebluing, the grips are checkered hard rubber with the original Colt logo and in beautiful condition. The barrel is marked from muzzle to frame “+Colt’s Pt. F. A. Mfg. Co. Harford, CT. USA +” . An all numbers matching smokeless frame clean bore, good timing, on original screws. This firearm will require an FFL transfer, and additional shipping charges apply. This gun is an antique and no attempt has been made to fire this gun to confirm its mechanical integrity. Nor should this gun be fired without the examination by a qualified gunsmith. Any attempt to fire an antique gun is at the risk of the owner and not consistent with the value of the firearm.

The UMWA was formed for all the right 2 and modernized the world with new and tremendous demand for reasons, and is still very active today. Hardrock miners, meanwhile, copper wire. had no national organization at first because the precious metal mines paid more for labor than other forms of mining. Indeed, the Both American and Mexican mines near the border used whatever Comstock Lode set the stage at $3 per day at least as far back as labor force they could tap – the geo-political border between Mexico about 1870, far more than miners were paid anywhere else in the and the US did not matter. world. The higher wage was meant to attract the best workers. Other hard rock mines that were less profitable paid less. Large mines The remote location of Bisbee also led to the possibilities of incursion outside and away from the Comstock region were forced to pay the from bandits. This had been a problem in southern Arizona for nearly same as the Comstock companies, or risk having a less effective work 100 years. Additional problems developed from mine and mill labor force. forces seeking better pay and working conditions.

As such, it required the work hard line negotiating at a bargaining table. of hundreds of miners in all forms of mining jobs, from underground miners to millmen all working for large single companies. In the For awhile, the WFM acted as an unofficial arm of the UMWA. The West, the California gold rush had been infinitely more productive, WFM became a much more radical organization, using violence to but involved more individuals and family groups than corporate force mine owners hands. Sometimes it worked, other times it did organized companies up to that point (1859). In the East, the use of not. Mostly the cause was hours worked per day and the pay rate. coal as a heating and power source (steam) became very important, The WFM organized labor strikes in Cripple Creek (1901, 1903), and coal mines became larger and larger, requiring hundreds of Leadville (1896-7), Globe (1903), Morenci (1903), Idaho (1905), men working at the same company or in the same region. Groups of Telluride (1900), Goldfield (1906-7) and elsewhere. miners began to form associations for discussions, protection, and for lobbying purposes. The WFM seemed to be targeting gold and silver mines. This made complete sense, because the overall concept of electricity, and the At first, these associations or unions were formed geographically.

Mining Directory, 1898. Starting about 1900, the Copper Queen owners, Phelps - Dodge, became focused on potential mine unrest. In June, 1906, there was “unrest” among the miners at Cananea which had begun at least as far back as 1903, particularly among the miners of Col. Greene’s companies. The miners held a labor strike. White (American) miners were paid up to double what the “Mexican” miners were paid, and they outnumbered the American workers by several fold. Greene had requested help from Bisbee lawmen, business interests and the Arizona Rangers. The Mexican workers were not allowed to form a union, making matters worse for all. Over time, many Mexican miners were recruited by the AFM for strikes in Arizona. After several Lot# 2647 C.
