The Legend of the Iron Door Mine and the CodyStone
By Robert Zucker
Deep in the mountains north of Tucson, Arizona may lie the legendary Iron Door Mine.
In Spanish, the Iron Door Mine is called "minas de la ferro con puerto en la Canada del Oro."
This mine is said to be one of "the most extensively hunted losts mines in North America."
Precious jewelry grade gold and silver in quartz pieces mined from the area are produced by jeweler WIlliam T. "Flint" Carter, who manages the Iron Door Mine Museum in Catalina, Arizona. He calls these precious stones called "CodyStones."
More about the legendary Mine with the Iron Door will be added soon. Read about CodyStone.
The history of the Iron Door Mine treasure, believed to be in the Catalina Mountains north of Tucson, AZ- is unique. This video follows Flint through some of the last territory untouched by developers between The Biosphere and Saddlebrooke.
It displays his attempts to save and preserve the rich history of the area. This sight is in the process of foreclosure due to lack of support from historical and local funding, and the rise in land prices in that area.
For more information on this exquisite jewelry and a personal tour of the museum, call "Flint" Carter for a tour at 520-289-4566. Mention you saw this article on the Internet.

"MacKenna's Gold" DVD
starring Gregory Peck
Attempting to do for Westerns what his Guns of Navarone had done for World War II action epics, director J. Lee Thompson crafted Mackenna's Gold as a lavish, absurdly ambitious variation on Erich Von Stroheim's Greed, resulting in a last-gasp Western so eager to encompass the genre's traditions that it turns into a big, silly, wildly entertaining mess. Gregory Peck surely had more serious intentions when he signed on, and he brings prestigious gravitas to his glum role as Marshall Mackenna, who gets shanghaied into searching for the gold-filled canyon of an elusive Apache legend. The rest of the 1969 film labors to undermine Peck's respectable demeanor; how else to explain Omar Sharif as a Mexican villain, Julie Newmar as a hot-blooded Apache temptress (with underwater nude scenes that were celebrated in Playboy magazine), and a jaw-dropping finale that's so ridiculous it's impressive in spite of itself?
Formerly blacklisted screenwriter Carl Foreman and composer Dimitri Tiomkin joined up to coproduce the film, and one can only imagine how Anthony Mann or Howard Hawks might've handled Foreman's sensible script. Thompson goes for scenic splendor, heavy action, and heavier emotions, casting everything at a fever pitch that's wildly enjoyable without betraying his "serious" intentions. A stable of Hollywood veterans (Eli Wallach, Raymond Massey, Edward G. Robinson, and others) appear in lively supporting roles--they're all dispatched in a garish Apache ambush--and Camilla Sparv is an ingénue with plenty of fighting attitude. Gold fever reaches its peak, along with some awesome special effects, and divine intervention reaches new heights of intensity. Top it off with José Feliciano's theme song, and you'll be in zany Western heaven. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com
