Steam Shovel at United Verde Mine. Writing on the photograph dates it to 1919. United Verde Copper Company, Jerome and Clarkdale, Yavapai County, Arizona Territory. The United Verde Copper Mine was located near the town of Jerome in the State of Arizona. This mining site is historically associated with the Jerome-Verde Mining District, which is now part of the Coconino National Forest. The discovery of the mine was made in the year 1900, and it was active from 1900 to 1938; the mine was considered to have a medium-scale production during that time. The mining operations at the United Verde Copper Mine primarily involved underground workings. There was a single known shaft that was utilized for extracting resources. The mine reached a maximum subsurface depth of 579 meters (1,900 feet). Currently, the United Verde Copper Mine is not in operation and there are no known plans for its reopening. In 1935, Phelps Dodge Corporation purchased the United Verde property and continued operating it until 1953 when the last of the mines shut down.
