Cooks Peak, Cooke's Peak

Cookes Peak is a 2,563 m (8,408 ft) high granodiorite mountain peak located approximately 27 km (17 miles) N of the city of Deming. Cookes Peak Mining District is a lead-zinc-silver mining district that produced about $4.2 million worth of ore between 1876 and 1965 from carbonate replacements and veins. Ed Orr, a rancher and prospector, discovered silver north of the peak in 1876, but prospectors Taylor and Wheeler were the first to find profitable ore bodies in 1880. Economic mineral deposits in the Cookes Range include galena (lead), sphalerite (zinc), silver, copper, gold, manganese, and fluorite. Over 20 tons of ore were removed from Cookes Peak Mining District between 1904 and 1943. While operations in the district were wide-spread, mines were typically speculative and small-scale. The majority of mines were relatively shallow, less than 3.6 m (12 ft) in depth, and there was only limited use of cribbing (wood supports) and rail systems. Moreover, the layout of both the mines and camps demonstrated a lack of formal planning, made apparent by the small number of legally patented mining claims. However, overall Cookes Peak Mining District was quite productive through the years.
