A CKNOWLEDGMENTS

I could not have written this book without the support of many people and a number of institutions.

My deepest gratitude to the Nosie and Gorham families. Thank you, Wendsler Nosie, Theresa Nosie, Vanessa Nosie, Naelyn Pike, Nizhoni Pike, and Baase-O Pike. Thank you, Patricia Brown, Jackie Gorham, Evelyn Gorham, Mike McKee, and Deb McKee.

Many thanks also to Sandra Rambler for her help with my many questions about Apache language and traditions. Thank you to Mila Besich-Lira and the Lira family, especially Cheryl Lira-Castro and David Lira, who spoke with me about copper mining, the Magma mine, and life in Superior over the past century.

I am exceedingly grateful to my literary agent, Elyse Cheney, for guidance, for friendship, and for championing this project.

The support of the MacArthur Foundation, New America, and the Center for the Future of Arizona gave me the time and freedom to work on this book. Thank you to Peter Bergen, Lattie Coor, Sybil Francis, Awista Ayub, Konstantin Kakaes, and my fellow fellows.

Enormous thanks to everyone at Random House, especially Thomas Perry, Andy Ward, Richard Elman, Benjamin Dreyer, Clio Seraphim, Matthew Martin, Maria Braeckel, Carrie Neill, Loren Noveck, Katie Tull, Kaley Baron, Jennifer Lynes Fernandez, Pam Feinstein, and Alice Gribbin. At Cheney Literary, I was fortunate to work with Adam Eaglin, Claire Gillespie, Isabel Mendia, and Alex Jacobs.

I relied on Derrick Aldermans meticulousness and sharp eye with design and production. Thank you to Natalie Meade for fact-checking the book. Any mistakes that remain are, of course, my own.

Joel Helfrichs work on the struggle over Mount Graham was crucial to my research. Janet Witzeman sent me a box full of primary source documents about the controversy over the telescopes that her husband, Bob Witzeman, had collected over many years. John Welch and Tom Wright spoke with me about the archaeological and natural history of Oak Flat. Many thanks also to Robin Silver.

Geologist Denton Ebel spoke with me about copper formation in stars. Dr. James Webster shared his expertise on metallic ore deposit formation.

I am grateful to my colleagues at the Parsons School of Design, in particular Anne Gaines and Joel Towers, who have made it possible for me to pursue my work.

Thank you to family and friends who have helped me with this project in various ways: Seth Redniss, Charlotte Herscher, Richard McGuire, Malcolm Gladwell, Jean Strouse, Gillian Kane, Whitney Chandler, Stewart Thorndike, Davie Lerner, Marc Rosen, Susan Grant Rosen, and Annie Novak.

Thank you to my parents, Rick and Robin Redniss, for many things, but especially for superlative grandparenting.

To Jody Rosen, Sasha, and Theo, I love you beyond measure.

For nearly a decade, Susan Kamil was a dream editor. I treasured her keen insights and trust. Susan died just as we were wrapping up this project. I am so grateful to have known her warmth, her generosity, and her joie de vivre.

This book is dedicated to Susan Kamil.

Chapter 1

: This figure is one of Resolution Coppers core claims. See, for instance, Resolution Copper Project Profile, Resolution Copper (March 2016). See also: Dan Sullivan, Resolution Copper May Spend Billions on Mine, Arizona Daily Star (April 25, 2009); Senator John McCain, Copper Mine Will Boost Economy, Protect Sacred Sites, Arizona Central (December 28, 2014); Steven Norton, Mining a Mile Down: 175 Degrees, 600 Gallons of Water a Minute, The Wall Street Journal (June 7, 2017).

: Matthew Philips, Inside the Billion Dollar Dig to Access Americas Biggest Copper Deposit, Bloomberg Businessweek (March 14, 2016).

: Subsidence occurs when the underground excavation caves and movement of material connects all the way to the surface where a depression or deformation in the land surface is formed. Resolution Copper, General Plan of Operations (May 2016), 91.

: Alternatives Evaluation Report, Environmental Impact Statement (draft): Resolution Copper Project and Land Exchange, Tonto National Forest, U.S. Forest Service (Phoenix: November 2017).

: Resolution Copper says that the mine would have a forty-year operational life. Resolution Copper, General Plan of Operations (May 2016), 16.

Chapter 2

: Naelyn Pikes quotations throughout the book are from in-person and telephone interviews conducted between 2015 and 2017 unless otherwise noted.

: Senator John McCain III, Statement by Senator John McCain on Protest of Resolution Copper Land Exchange in Washington, D.C. Today (July 22, 2015).

: In the report that the San Carlos tribe commissioned, Power Consulting addresses the assertion that the Resolution Copper mine would generate $61 billion dollars over its lifespan. This is grossly misleading. It is the equivalent of saying that the pay associated with the mining jobs will be about $4 million per job instead of saying that the pay will be $75,000 per year. No one, certainly no economic analyst, would state the pay associated with a job in terms of the cumulative pay over 50 or 64 years.

The tribes consultants take issue with other choices that produced the numbers in the Pollack Report. For instance, the Pollack Report states, Costs associated with environmental and engineering issues and the cost of their correction were not included in the study. In other words, as the tribes consultants write, The environmental cost will be assumed to be zero. This is just one of a number of limitations the Pollack Report placed on its analysis, dramatically affecting the picture the report paints.

In short, the tribes consultants characterize the Pollack Reports design as deeply problematic: The design of the Pollack Report is non-economic, even anti-economic, in the sense that it takes a major industrial operation that has considerable costs associated with it and turns it into an angelic activity with no costs. By design the Pollack Report conveniently dodges almost all of the important policy implications associated with permitting the proposed mine. (Exaggerating the Net Economic Benefits of the Proposed Resolution Copper Mine, Superior, Arizona: A Critical Review of Resolutions Economic Impact Analysis, report prepared for the San Carlos Apache Tribe, Power Consulting, Inc., Missoula, MO: September 9, 2013, 36.)

: Emily Bregel, Massive Mine Proposed at Oak Flat, Sacred Tribal Land, Arizona Daily Star (September 8, 2013).
