Description
Photograph of a view of a dynamite demonstration held by United Verde Copper Company at Jerome, Yavapai County, Arizona, [s.d.]. Smoke from the explosion seeps out of the large crater on the left. On the ground above, mining tracks lead from the foreground through the scattered equipment of the mining site to the mountain side in the background. On the left a small structure stands with what appear to be large containers surrounding it. Several automobiles are parked nearby while ten lightly-colored cylinders stand on the mountain side above. "One ton of dynamite exploded by United Verde Copper Company at Jerome, Yavapai County, Arizona to show the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce excursion party how 'some of it is done' in the great mining district of the Verde".
