PRESIDENTS CORNER January 2013
The New Year is upon us. I trust everyone had a good Christmas and a happy New Year. Our club
Christmas BBQ was a success, the food was good and there was plenty of it. The Chandler park facilities
were, in my opinion, every bit as good as the Glendale facility that we had used in the past, but at a fac-
tion of the cost. We had the customary gold drawing and I, as customary, didn’t draw a nugget. Oh well,
there is always next year.
As mentioned at the General Meetings and previously in this newsletter, the Board was interested in
having new one-ounce silver rounds minted as our supply is dwindling low. The expenditure required the
member’s approval and at a vote taken at the BBQ, the expenditure was approved. The BBQ is the Gen-
eral Meeting in December. We have now ordered the rounds and our check was sent to the mint to lock
in the price of the silver We have ordered the rounds from the same mint that previously supplied rounds
for us. Of course members will be able to buy some rounds after they are received. The Club sells the
rounds, a few at a time, on an ongoing basis. However, we do retain some for use as gifts for speakers at
the General Meetings, because we do not compensate the speakers in any other fashion. Members will be
able to buy rounds at cost, so that when it all shakes out, the Club breaks even. I believe these are becom-
ing collectables.
I look forward to getting out and doing some prospecting and I assume you feel the same. I had some
back trouble in the fall and that put a damper on my activities, but that is clearing up. It brings up a point
that is self evident, but I will mention it anyway. None of us are “spring chickens”; we are all getting old-
er. Be careful when you are lifting, bending, pulling, pushing or worse, twisting. Its’ real easy to hurt
yourself and end up being sidetracked for a while. This applies to both young and old.
The Board receives reports from our Claims Patrol that is inspecting claims for violations of BLM or
the National Forest rules. Upon noting a violation, the claims patrol will then remind those persons that
they have to comply with the rules or our right to keep the claim may be in jeopardy. We do not, in any
way, threaten or order people about, but if a violation persists, we will go to the authorities to protect the
Club’s interest. This applies to “claim Jumpers” as well. If they do not wish to join the Club, and pay
dues, as we do to keep the claims, then they cannot continue prospecting on our claims. Also, as I believe
everyone knows, we are not allowed to live on the claims. After 14 days one must vacate. We all must
follow the law if we wish to continue pursuing our prospecting activities.
That is about enough for me to say this month. Be safe out there and make it a good month; find
some gold..

New Silver Anniversary Rounds
At our December annual BBQ, we asked for members' approval to purchase 400 one ounce,
99% pure silver anniversary rounds. This purchase was approved by all at that time. This
now approved purchase will cost an estimated $16,000 and includes the cost for 100 gift box-
es as well as printing and die. Because we are using the Northwest Territorial Mint, the same
company that has our die on file, we will be saving the club hundreds of dollars. The board
has been very pleased with this company's work in the past. The majority of the cost will be
recovered by selling the rounds to members. We will also give a limited amount of rounds to
our guest speakers, as door prizes and at special events.
I expect the rounds will be available in two months and as always rounds will be kept in a
safety deposit box at Chase.

Did You Know? Gold is edible. Some Asian countries put gold in
fruit, jelly snacks, coffee, and tea. Since at least the
1500s, Europeans have been putting gold leaf in
bottles of liquor, such as Danziger, Goldwasser and
Goldschlager. Some Native American tribes be-
lieved consuming gold could allow humans to levi-
tate.
As we wrote in the "Did You Know" article last
month, almost all gold has been recycled over the
ages. Now we learn that people have been eating it
for thousands of years. Makes you wonder just
where the gold in your Rolex watch came from?
Milestones Burl Nunn passed away on Nov. 9, 2012 in Wick-
enburg. Burl and wife, Jan joined the club in De-
cember of 1985. The Nunns were one of the earli-
est members of the club.

2013. In some cases, Life members have paid the AMF in advance in prior years at the old
$20 rate. These amounts have been credited against the new rate of $44. That is why you
will see various balances less than $44. Please submit the indicated amount due for 2013 as
soon as possible. If you have any questions, please call the office at 602 274-2521 or email:
[email protected] for a fast reply. Thank you.

The Mine’s Meal
By Lynn Downey (Wickenburg Sun, 12/1/10)
Of all the ways to make money in the late 1800s and early 1900s, mining had to be one of the toughest. The
work itself was hard, no matter whether you used a pick underground or worked a noisy stamp mill. The
tasks of daily living were sometimes no easier, and what was often on a miner’s mind was his next meal.
Whether a miner worked on his own in the mountains of California and the Southwest, or labored for a large
mining operation such as the Vulture, near Wickenburg, food was surprisingly abundant. In general, the
miner’s diet consisted of dried meats (jerky), eggs, bread, milk, and cheese. Available fresh meats were gen-
erally fowl, lamb, mutton, or game.
Even if there was plenty of food around, miners sometimes had trouble paying for it. In the days before re-
frigeration, wagon teams would haul foodstuffs into town which had mercantiles or restaurants, and buyers
would never know how much a dozen eggs or bottle of bitters would cost. Local merchants like Michael
Goldwater and Isaac Levy, whose stores served the Vulture Mine and Wickenburg, never knew what they
would be able to offer their customers until the wagons rolled into town.
Crop damage due to bad weather would of course make scarce products more expensive, and if a store or
camp was more difficult to get to, the simple costs of transportation – paying a driver, feeding the horses –
would add to the price. Spoilage was another problem; so many perishable foods would be preserved, either
through pickling, curing, drying or preserving in sugar as jellies. Fresh fruits and vegetables could only be
eaten when in season.
No matter what the weather or cost, there was one item miners could always count on: beans.
In the Broadway musical, “Paint Your Wagon,” a group of miners have hit it big and sing a song called
“Hand Me Down That Can of Beans,” with the refrain, “Out the window go the beans, I had a lucky day.” In
other words, when the pickings were good, miners could afford something more than the ubiquitous beans.
But more often than not, they were a staple of the frontier diet. They were always available, they were cheap,
easily cooked and were also a traditional part of the late 19th century diet.
Larger mining camps offered a place for the locals to eat, but the name of “restaurant” didn’t always apply to
some of these establishments, which were often crudely constructed tents in the open air. But the camp cook,
whether he (or she) worked in a fine restaurant or plopped piles of beans on a tin plate under the stars, was
always a respected figure. A few photos of mining camp cooks survive in historical collections, and it’s al-
ways easy to spot them: they are the ones in the clean clothes.
Canned food was also available to miners, but it was only in the 1870s that canning was common. Unfortu-
nately, the first containers for meats, fruits and other foodstuffs were soldered together with lead, often con-
taminating what was inside and affecting the health of the eater. A few canned items in the diet weren’t too
dangerous, but relying on early preserved foods did cause many an unpleasant death. By 1904 the “sanitary”
unleaded can was being used and lead-related deaths dropped.

Miners did their cooking in cast iron pans or Dutch ovens, and the latter could be used to make everything
from scrambled eggs to peach cobbler. One of the most common uses of the Dutch oven was for biscuits,
and to end today’s story, here is a biscuit recipe fit for any outdoor cooking pot.
Dutch Oven Miner’s Biscuits
3 cups flour
6 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoon fat (lard or bacon drippings)
Approx. 1 cup of milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
Sift together dry ingredients, then rub in lard with your fingertips until the flour is flaky. Pour in about a
cupful milk to moisten. Turn out the dough on well floured board and pat it down to about ½ inch in thick-
ness. Cut out with a drinking glass or coffee cup and put in a greased Dutch oven that has been slightly pre-
heated (including the lid). Biscuits should be touching but not crowded together. Place the lid on the oven
and cover with hot coals. Place it on a bed of red coals and let the biscuits bake for about twenty minutes or
until brown on top and bottom.
