Abandoned Mill, Toulon, NV
Ruins of an abandoned mill in Toulon, Nevada. The abandoned mill buildings in Toulon date from 1892. The main building housed a ball mill used to process tungsten as well as precious metals. The tungsten was processed from scheelite ore from the nearby Ragged Top Mining District. In 1918, the mill was turned in to an arsenic mill that processed ore from near Battle Mountain. The mill was acquired in 1929, but remained idle until 1936, when it was refurbished. The mill played an important role refining tungsten ore from Nevada and California during WWII, including a 1943 addition of a flotation plant.
