Tough Nut Mine
The Tough Nut Mine was a silver mine established just prior to and just outside Tombstone, Arizona. It was rich in horn silver.
The mine came to be one of two big strikes by the Tombstone Gold and Silver Mining Company. On March 5, 1879, U.S. Deputy Mineral Surveyor Solon M. Allis finished laying out a new town site on a mesa named Goose Flats at , just above the Tough Nut mine. The area was large enough to hold a growing town〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.minrec.org/labels.asp?colid=1329 )〕 and was named "Tombstone" after Ed Schieffelin's initial mining claim. The shelters at Watervale were relocated to the new town site and a scattering of cabins and tents were quickly built for about 100 residents.〔
In 1880, Al and Ed Schieffelin sold their two-thirds interest in the Tough Nut for $1 million each to capitalists from Philadelphia, and sometime later Gird sold his one-third interest for the same amount. Al Schieffelin used a portion of his wealth to build Schieffelin Hall.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tombstonemining.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=63&Itemid=100 )〕
