An eight stamp mill was built in Mill Canyon in 1864 to treat silver ore brought in by mule train from the mine located eight miles away. The mill capacity doubled in 1869 and the canyon itself was prospected without success. The mill operated until 1886 when a new mill was built at Cortez. Another mill was built in the 1930s at the lower end of the canyon. This mill, newer buildings, and older stone walls remain.
