The copper mining operations of the Verde Mining District near Jerome were similar to Arizona's other great copper districts in many ways, but differ in other respects. While they faced similar challenges related to the development of infrastructure required for profitable operation in remote localities, differences in the nature and character of the ores commonly necessitated innovative solutions to solve unique problems.
