| Summary |
"Arizona Ghost Trails" by Richard J. Hinton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work primarily focuses on mining laws and procedures relevant to Arizona, providing a comprehensive overview of mining claims, land rights, and various regulations that governed the mining industry during that era. The opening of the text introduces the legal framework surrounding mining in Arizona, detailing the significant mining laws enacted prior to the 1872 Act, which allowed miners to claim and work on mineral-rich lands. Hinton outlines critical aspects such as the possessory rights required to maintain mining claims, the stipulations for mining locations and claims, and the associated responsibilities for miners. Through this exploration of legal guidelines, the reader gains insight into the complexities faced by miners during the settlement and development of the Arizona territory.
