     History
    The Queen of Sheba was organized in 1923 to mine the extensive silver ore nearby. The mines were worked extensively in the 1940s, and in 1947 a mill was built to process the ore. Production was minimal, but still profitable. By 1972 the last mines were played out and operations ceased.
