Miner at Queen Mine in Bisbee

Sonny Tovar was born in Bisbee in 1935. He was 40 years old when the Queen Mine closed. He is now one of several retired miners who give daily tours of the mine. He says he still loves the smell of the mine. "I enjoy the tours. I knew what I was talking about. I would put my heart into it. I felt proud to be a miner."
