Postal History: None. Caption: C&A Smelter, Douglas, Arizona. Additional Information: Douglas was founded as a smelter town, to treat the copper ores of nearby Bisbee, Arizona. The town is named after mining pioneer James Douglas. Two copper smelters operated at the site. The Calumet and Arizona Company Smelter was built in 1902. The Copper Queen operated in Douglas from 1904 until 1931, when the Phelps Dodge Corporation purchased the Calumet and Arizona Company and took over their smelter. The Calumet and Arizona smelter then became the Douglas Reduction Works. Douglas was the site of the Phelps-Dodge Corporation Douglas Reduction Works until its closure in 1987. The smoke stacks of the smelter were not taken down until January 13, 1991. How we grade our Postcards: MINT - A perfect card just as it comes from the printing press. No marks, or creases, and no writing or postmarks. A clean, fresh card. NEAR MINT - Like Mint but with very light aging or very slight discoloration from being in an album for many years. Not as sharp or crisp. EXCELLENT - Like near mint in appearance but may have one small defect such as an almost undetectable bend, crease or slightly blunted corner tips, etc. May have writing and/or postmark only on the address side. VERY GOOD - May have one or two minor defects such as a light crease, bend, blunted or rounded corners, a small amount of postal ink or writing to front that does not detract from the image. May have writing or postal use on the address side. GOOD - Corners may be blunt or rounded with noticeable bends or creases. May have soiling to picture side that detracts from the picture. May have heavy postal ink and/or writing to picture side of card that detracts from the picture. May have writing or postal use on the address side. Card may have a small tear or chipped corner. FAIR - Card may have a missing corner or be significantly torn. Excess soil, stains, creases, writing, or cancellation may affect the picture. This could be a scarce card that is difficult to find in any condition.
