Historical Context
The Baumann Mines Company was organized on March 18, 1910, under laws of Arizona, as a successor to the Baumann Copper Company, which forfeited bond and lease to Jules Baumann, in February of 1909.
The company's lands covered approximately 500 acres, 2 miles east of Humboldt, in the Agua Fria district, carrying fissure veins in quartz, schist and porphyry, and a contact deposit between porphyry and schist having a heavy gouge on the footwall.
In total the company had 25 unpatented claims, which included the Swiss Girl mine (opened 1884, 8 shafts, of 30′, 26′, 65′, 40′, 67′, 208', 320′ and 900', with a 250' crosscut tunnel and a 305' drift tunnel) and the Baby mine (1,000' northeast of the Swiss Girl, with a 130' shaft, showing azurite, malachite and chalcocite.)
Jules Baumann
Jules Baumann was born in Switzerland in 1855 and arrived in Prescott, Arizona in 1879, where he wore many hats, including those of town band leader and ice cream shop owner. Perhaps more significantly, he published rare bird's-eye views of Prescott and the Grand Canyon during the 1890's and operated mining ventures in the area well into the 20th century.
