Historical Context
In 1914, a separate company, the United Verde Extension Mining Company (UVX), led by James S. Douglas, Jr. (nicknamed Rawhide Jimmy), discovered a second ore body near Jerome that produced a bonanza. The UVX Mine, also known as the Little Daisy Mine, became spectacularly profitable: during 1916 alone, it produced $10 million worth of copper, silver and gold, of which $7.4 million was profit.
In 1918, the company built the Little Daisy Hotel in Jerome to serve as a boarding house for its miners. That year, the company built a smelter in its own company town near Cottonwood; the company town was named Clemenceau in 1920.
The mine remained profitable until the Great Depression, which caused copper prices to crash.
The company went out of business in 1938.
