Santa Rita. Altitude, 1,900 meters. C9. 



A mining camp in Grant County about 15 miles east of Silver City. 

 This is spoken of by various writers as Santa Rita, Santa Rita del Cobre, 

 Cobre, and the Copper Minos. Santa Rita Mountain and Coppermine 

 Creek are near by. The settlement is a very old one, the Spaniards 

 having mined copper here for probably more than two hundred years. 

 Bigelow, Thurber, and Wright collected here in the early fifties, 

 the last extensively, and from their collections Doctor Gray described 

 many common New Mexican plants. Lieutenant Emory visited 

 Santa Rita in 1847 and gathered a few plants in the vicinity. But 

 little collecting has been done at Santa Rita since Wright's time. 

 Dr. E. L. Greene collected here in 1880 and 1881, and in 1904, Mr. 

 O. B. Metcalfe secured a very few specimens in the vicinity. Con- 

 siderable collecting has been done in the mountains surrounding the 

 locality, but not at Santa Rita itself; and the place would well repay 

 some time spent in making a large collection, in order to add authori- 

 tative material to Wright's often scanty types. 



In the report of Emory's Reconnaissance, opposite page 59, there 

 is a drawing showing Santa Rita as it appeared at that time.
