A bird's eye view of United Verde Extension Mine, the "Little Daisy Mine." The mansion-residence of James S. Douglas apppears on the right, and the Verde Valley and Clark smelters are shown in the distance. Jerome, between the late-1880s and early 1950s, was the areas “Billion Dollar Copper Town,” teeming with a thriving mining operations; Jerome had 9,967 mines in its surrounding area. The town's copper mine once produced 3 million pounds of copper per month. The most prominent success of the Little Daisy started with James S. “Rawhide” Douglas, patriarch of a prominent pioneering Arizona Mining family. He had built and occupied a magnificent home in 1916 when Jerome was a booming mining town. His former residence is now the site of the Jerome State Historic Park. This picture is one from among a postcard-collage that was sent to Sharlot M. Hall in 1920.
