Summary: Correspondence and business records documenting the mercantile store, banking and mining investments; particularly the development of Arizona's financial base. Business records relate to the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Company store and business correspondents include W.C. Greene, James Douglas, A.C. Riordan, the Lucky Tiger Mine, Bank of Bisbee, and George LeBaron. There are a few personal letters from 1919-1920, while the Bisbee Deportation trial is taking place, that discuss the Deportation. However, business correspondence for 1915-1918 is not present. Personal correspondents include W. O'Neill, Mark Smith, Ben Williams, and Alexander Brodie (concerning the joint statehood bill). There is also family correspondence, letters concerning Catholic Charities, correspondence with Bishop H. Granjon about restoration of San Xavier Mission, and other correspondence about the founding of the Brophy College Preparatory School. Letters from Nellie Cashman, dated 1896 to 1908, concern property transactions.
