Baumann Mining Camp Assay office, Yavapai County, Arizona. Handwriting on the photograph states: "Baumann Camp, Assay Office, 1904." The Baumann Company held the deed to twenty-five mining claims (500 acres) in the richly mineralized Agua Fria section of the Bradshaw Mountain Range. Their claims followed a northwest-southeasterly coursing spur of the Black Hills, and at an elevation of about 500 feet above the Agua Fria River (two miles away.) Names of the Company’s mines included the Swiss Girl, the Beebe, the Baby, the Laura, the Hidden Treasure, the Winkelried, the Giant, the Berna, the Tillie, and others. Of benefit to the Baumann mines, the Val Verde smelter was nearby, one and one-half miles distant, which allowed an easier down-hill haul for the ores obtained from their mines. The area was referred to as the “Verde Copper Belt” and was fifteen miles east of Prescott and extended from Jerome on the north and Copper Mountain on the south.
