HUMBUG: The Historical Archaeology of Placer Mining on Humbug Creek in Central Arizona
In June 1986 the Bureau of Reclamation awarded Dames and Moore a contract for historical archaeological studies as part of the mitigation program for the Regulatory Storage Division (Plan 6) of the Central Arizona Project. While investigating dam construction camps along the Agua Fria River near Lake Pleasant, we discovered remnants of a late nineteenth century hydraulic mining complex along Humbug Creek. The southern portion of this complex is within the flood pool of the New Waddell Dam. This study focuses on the historical and archaeological evidence of the Yavapai Mining and Irrigation Company's operations along Humbug Creek in 1890-1891 and circa 1915-1915 mining by the New State Hydraulic Company.
