Hidden Treasure Mine and Tunnel, Lynx Creek, Yavapai County, Arizona Territory, c. 1880's.
The Hidden Treasure was a gold and silver mine located in Yavapai County, Arizona at an elevation of 6,601 feet.
It was one of twenty five mining claims owned by the Baumann Company. The Baumann Copper Company was incorporated in 1901. It held deed to mining claims totaling 500 acres in the Aqua Fria section of the Bradshaw Range. The claims followed a northwest-southeasterly coursing spur of the Black Hills, and at an elevation of about 500 feet above the Aqua Fria River (two miles away.)
The so-named “Verde Copper Belt” was fifteen miles east of Prescott and extended from Jerome on the north to Copper Mountain on the south. Of benefit to the Baumann mines, the Val Verde smelter was nearby, one and one-half miles distant, and allowed a down-hill haul for the ores obtained from their mines.
