Alice Mine Shaft, Swiss Girl Mine, Bauman Group, Bradshaw District, Yavapai County, Arizona Territory. The Swiss Girl Mine was located near Mayer, Arizona, in the Agua Fria Mining District. It is now part of the Prescott National Forest. The former mine is inactive. The area surrounding it is characterized as the Mexican Highland. It is part of the Intermontane Plateaus.
The Alice Girl mine shaft was just west of the Swiss Girl mine. Its' heading, or"lead," followed the same north-south course as the Swiss Girl mine. The shaft was 200 feet deep, and at one point (in 1905) 35 tons of ore extracted from it netted $250. According to a report in the May 19, 1904 edition of The Mining Reporter (pg. 505), "The Alice vein averages 4 feet in width and carries considerable high grade copper ores, the gold and silver values in which are considerable."
