Do Faraday And Cielo Have Anything In Common?

  Most of what we know about the Faraday project in the Galiuros is taken from  https://www.coppercreekmine.com/subscribe/ .
  A community event conducted by Faraday folks a few weeks ago in Oracle didn't shed much light on the situation. But it did make me stop and take note of a familiar dynamic with which many of us are familiar.
  Having lived in Arizona for over forty years we've seen many schemes come and go.  Willow Springs, Cherokee, Rancho Coronado, Buffalo Bill Cody's gold mine claims, not to mention long forgotten gold and silver digs. 
  When I say come and "go" I don't necessarily mean stake-in- the-heart gone.  In fact a thing called "Cielo" seems to be a sort of zombie project still on the books in Mammoth and Arizona State Lands - never having been de-annexed as far as I know.  So there it lies in the land of the real estate undead.  Another bad idea in purgatory.  Indeed, there's a ton of real estate plattings, zonings, PADs, area plans, and mining claims littering our landscape as half dead schemes of aspirants looking to leverage someone else's money.
  So what about Faraday?  Some say it's a "bull shit scam".  Others point to the drilling, bulldozing, building and water pumping on location as "real".  Maybe even real enough to appear on a "prospectus" in money-ville if not "real" enough to lead to the actual blasting, hauling and smelting of ore that is what mining is all about. 
  There is a common denominator here.  Water.  There's the rub.  Any way you look at it there isn't enough of it to undergird what project touts propose.

    Kaz and I moved to Oracle in 1979.  The house we bought dated to the late 1940s.  With little advance knowledge of the place, we set out to build a new life together, intending to settle in and raise a family.

    Queens, New York and before that Chicago, Illinois rapidly receded in our rearview mirror as small town living moved front and center.

    Of course, we had to learn how to do lots of new things - from chainsawing dead trees, fighting fires, building cabinets, patching leaky roofs; not to mention figuring out how to get along in a rural town in Arizona with the center of local government an hour away and a do-it-yourself ethos the order of the day.
