Arizona’s asbestos mining history begins in Chrysotile, a Gila County mining settlement tied to Johns Manville and the wider story of chrysotile asbestos. In this video, attorney Justinian Lane looks at the town’s origins, the properties that made chrysotile useful, and the early mining operations that shaped a company town in the Arizona desert. Using a historical artifact connected to superintendent Frank Nuckey, the video explores how asbestos mining grew, who worked around it, and why the mineral’s legacy remains important today. This first part sets up the story of Chrysotile, Arizona, before continuing into its lasting impact.
