The Verde Mining District area attracted other mining ventures, including the development of the United Verde Extension Mine.
William Ascarza Special to the Arizona Daily Star William A. Clark, established a solid copper mining operation at the United Verde Mine with smelters onsite at Jerome and later Clarkdale.
The United Verde Extension Gold, Silver and Copper Mining Co. was subsequently formed, followed by a decade of exploration costing $500,000 that revealed weakly mineralized host rocks and small ore pockets. By 1912, after an investment of $500,000, only a few streaks of ore were discovered and mining operations suspended.
The UVX Mine, while only one-tenth the size of the United Verde Mine, continued to produce until the ore body was exhausted in 1938. Declining ore production necessitated the closure of the Clemenceau smelter the year prior. The U.V.X. production of high grade copper ore accounted for over 20% of the total copper production in the Verde Mining District. James Douglas amassed $42 million in dividends at the culmination of the venture.
Small scale mining operations continued in the area through the early 1990s. From 1954 to 1975, the Big Hole Mining Co. leased the Big Pit at the United Verde Mine from Phelps Dodge, extracting 206,777 tons of ore from small copper veins. Shipment was trucked to Clarkdale, then by rail for processing at the Douglas smelter. Recovery figures included 25.3 million pounds of copper, nearly 2,900 ounces of gold and 200,000 ounces of silver.
