In 1939, Edwin Crabtree Jr. shot an 11-minute 8mm film in Ruby, Arizona, capturing the only known live action images of Ruby. Footage included adults at work and leisure, children at play and mining operations. In tribute to former residents of Ruby, this video celebrates the lives of those who were part of this small mining community, just a few miles from the Mexican border. Now a ghost town, Ruby's mining history as the Montana Camp dates back to the late 1800's & ends in 1940 with the mine's closure.
