The Copper Queen mine, Bisbee's first working mine, was also its last. Mining ceased in 1975, although the Copper Queen still offers tours.
The Warren district is credited with having produced 7.92 billion pounds of copper. In addition, the district recovered 324 million pounds of lead, 355 million pounds of zinc, 28 million pounds of manganese, 2.79 million ounces of gold and 102 million ounces of silver.
