This was the fourth print of the series of five offered by the San Francisco Chronicle on March 24, 1940, in their third series of Contemporary Graphics. The U.V.X. Jerome was a rich copper mine, located in Jerome, Yavapai County, in the Black Hills of Arizona. Jerome made news in 1917, when strikes involving the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) led to the expulsion at gunpoint of about 60 IWW members, who were loaded on a cattle car and shipped west. Jerome became a National Historic Landmark in 1967. In the early 21st century, Jerome has art galleries, coffee houses, restaurants, and a state park and local museum devoted to mining history.
