The Audrey Shaft

 
 





 
 
The Audrey Shaft in Jerome is the oldest and largest wooden mining structure in Arizona. The Audrey head frame stands above the Audrey shaft, which descends 1,900 feet straight down into the side of Mingus Mountain. The head frame and shaft worked together from 1918 to 1938 to raise more than $125 million in ore to the surface for United Verde Extension Mining Company.
