San Pedro River mill and supply town (1870s–1880s) that fed Tombstone’s silver boom; sister site Millville sat across the river. Today only foundations, wall stubs, and cemetery traces remain inside the BLM San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area—reached by a short hike from the Charleston Road trailhead, not a drive-in Main Street.
