Seal

The website at www.townofkearny.com shows a seal with a simple circular format. The outer ring has the word 'KEARNY' at its top in black capitals and the word 'ARIZONA' in a similar format at the bottom. The center is multicolored and is divided into four sections by a Native American symbol in cinnamon. The middle is also circular and depicts the Arizona state flag in its proper colors above a canyon in light blue and overlooked by a rock formation in green. In chief there appears to be a covered wagon in gold on a blue field, with a lowering sky streaked in blue and black. To the left of the central circle is a blue field displaying a sun or full moon in gold; this is bisected into two unequal parts by a saguaro cactus, with its proper green color cast in a golden glow. In the background is a slate gray mountain range, while to the right of the cactus is a black tumbleweed. To the right of the center circle a white smelter chimney marked with three thin black lines jutting across a black horizon band of mountains into a blue sky. The chimney seems to arise from a green range of mountains, with a yellow cliff face. In the center foreground of this section there appears to be a Western urban townscape in blue.

The symbol for the planet Mercury in the middle is yellow on the flag.

At http://www.echoesofthesouthwest.com/2013/01/road-trip-kearny-az.html it’s suggested this symbol on the seal is likely about mining: "Kearny was first built in 1958 by the Kennecott Mining Company". The mentioned operation (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennecott_Utah_Copper) seems to pertain to copper, though, so maybe they just put the wrong symbols on the seal?, the "♀" with an added pair of hook ’em horns?
