			The ~~Arizona Mining Camp~~, or the Great Peck Mine was an exhibit showcasing the life of miners, and the methods of obtaining ore from mines. The Great Peck Mine was a prosperous silver mine near Prescott, Arizona. This exhibit opened in early October. <ref>"This is the best month to see the exposition." ''The Plain Speaker''. 04 Nov. 1904, p. 5.</ref> The main goal of the exhibit was to display the working of a mine to people who had never seen one in operation.

			==Description==
			A large, five-acre enclosure was erected near the [[Inside Inn]] on the southern end of the [[Mining Gulch]]. There, a facsimile of the Great Peck Mining camp of Prescott, Arizona was reproduced to represent the mining camp as it was in the 1870's. Included in the mining camp was a dance hall.

	~~==Etymology==~~		Within the enclosure, four shafts were sunk into the ground, each 200 feet deep. On the first one was installed a heavy-duty first-motion reel-hoisting engine operating two four-ton skips. The other shafts were powered with an electric hoist, gasoline engine, and steam engine.
			Lead ore was supplied by Missouri lead mines and lowered into the shafts.

	~~==Before~~ the ~~Fair==~~		Electric and Compressed air drills were used in the shaft then hoisted and taken to the mill just as though it had been taken from place in the drifts and sloped of the underground workings. A twenty stamp mill, using Wilfley tables, was erected for crushing the ore. <ref>"The Great Peck at Exposition." ''Weekly Journal-Miner''. 13 Apr. 1904, p. 3.</ref>

	~~==Description==~~
	~~Opened~~ in ~~early October~~. <ref>"~~This is the best month to see the exposition~~." ''~~The Plain Speaker~~''. ~~04 Nov~~. 1904, p. 5.</ref>

	==After the Fair==		==After the Fair==
			The machinery was relocated to the Great Peck Mine in Prescott, Arizona.
