Weaver, Arizona
Weaver, or Weaverville, is a former gold mining town, now a deserted ghost town, in Yavapai County, Arizona. All that remains are some rusting mining machinery, a partially restored cemetery, and the ruins of a stone house.
==History==
The town of Weaverville was established shortly after the discovery of placer gold deposits on nearby Rich Hill in May 1863. The town was named after mountain man Pauline Weaver, who worked as a guide for the group of prospectors who made the discovery. The gold was discovered by a member of the party while chasing a stray donkey.〔H. Mason Coggin, “A history of placer mining in Arizona”, in ''History of Mining in Arizona'', Tucson: Mining Club of the Southwest Foundation, 1987, p.178.〕 After the placer deposits were exhausted, mining turned to the lode deposits that were the source of the placer gold.
Weaverville, soon shortened to Weaver, came under the control of Francisco Vega and his band of outlaws. Travelers and businesses avoided Weaver and its outlaw element in favor of the nearby towns of Stanton and Octave.〔Erik Melchiorre, Dante Lauretta, Katherine Crombie, and Chris Gholson, “Rich Hill, Arizona: historic gold district, modern gold rush”, ''Mining Engineering'', Nov. 2003, p.23-28.〕
A post office was established at Weaver on May 26, 1899, but remained less than a year before it moved to nearby Octave on April 19, 1900.
