Campo Bonito and the High Jinks
The Campo Bonito mine is
about seven miles northeast of Oracle, Arizona in Pima County. The town
of Oracle, located on the northside of the Santa Catalinas is north of
Tucson, Arizona.
The Catalinas is the region of the fabled Mine with the Iron Door (Lost Mine), which inspired the novel of the same name by Harold Bell Wright.
Nearby Campo Bonito is the High Jinks Ranch,
the site of one of Cody's mining claims. A ranch that was built by
Johnny Baker after Cody died still remains. The property currently is in
renovation.
