The years between 1900 and 1930 provide the temporal frame, for during these years the copper mines in Globe experienced the dramatic boom and bust economic cycles that define a natural resource based economy. At the beginning of the period, Globe's mines climbed to prominence among the industry's producers, reaching their apogee during the Great War. Oversupply and depressed markets brought the industry to its knees in 1920 and 1921. Although copper recovered gradually throughout the 1920s, Globe's brightest star, the Old Dominion, was never able to regain its former stature after the war, and by 1931 the mine was dead. |
