Mineral Museum Supporters Want to Stop New Museum
Supporters of the former Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum say they want to stop construction of the Arizona Experience Museum. They say they plan legal action and to turn public opinion against it to dry up contributions.
A story in the July issue of Phoenix Magazine says that supporters of the Mining and Mineral Museum want to reestablish the Mineral Museum. It had programs specifically designed to the state’s education curriculum. Thousands of students and parents visited the museum every year.
Gila County’s late state Representative Polly Rosenbaum relocated the museum to its downtown Phoenix location in 1991 with a resolution that it would be the permanent home. Last July Gov. Brewer placed the museum in the hands of the Arizona Historical Society. The museum was closed a couple of months ago.

Forest Closures-Black Mesa Ranger District
From Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests:
Continued rising temperatures, extemely dry forests, current wildfires on the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, and the forecast of possible dry-lightning in the area this week has prompted officials of the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests to impose additional Forest Closures.
Black Mesa District Ranger Dee Hines reported at a community of near 300 people Saturday night in Heber, “We will be closing the rest of the Black Mesa District, but have decided to keep some manageable areas open.” He added, “I need to stress that closures mean closures to all public. If private lands border “closed” national forest land, access is still prohibited.”
Closed to public access: All national forest system lands, roads and trails as they currently exist within the administrative boundaries of the Black Mesa Ranger District.
Areas that will remain open with fire restrictions include:
Black Mesa Ranger District Administrative Site and the Tall Timbers County Park
Camp Shadow Pines Organization Camp Permit Area, The Arizona Department of Public Safety Administrative Site, and the Heber Work Center
Canyon Point Campground
Sinkhole Campground, Willow Springs Lake Day Use Area, Willow Springs Boat Ramp, and Willow Springs Lake

Current fire restrictions prohibit campfires, and coal, wood or charcoal fires, smoking outside of a vehicle or building, and discharging firearms. Fire restrictions and area closures will be rescinded when the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests receives sufficient precipitation to lessen the risk of fire.
Fireworks are always prohibited in national forests.
Forest Service Law Enforcement and other personnel will be patrolling forest roads and trails. “We ask that people be extremely cautious outdoors at this time, be aware of your surroundings and report all illegal activity to proper law enforcement authorities.
