Golden Belt Mill, Yavapai County, Arizona.
Golden Turkey Mine and Golden Belt Mill, Yavapai County, Arizona, dated July 9, 1936.
The Golden Turkey Mine was a gold and silver mine located in Yavapai county, Arizona at an elevation of 3,100 feet.
The mining property was located on the west side of Turkey Creek, near the eastern foot of the Bradshaw Mountains. Access to the mine was via the old Black Canyon Highway, and about 15 miles from the towns of Cleator and Mayer, the mine's nearest railway shipping point.
The mine-vein was discovered in the early 1900's. Production from the mine started around 1923 and was most profitable starting in 1933 when the workings were extended, and more than 4,000 tons of ore were run through the company's Golden Belt mill. The monthly yield was approximately two cars of concentrates containing gold and silver together with some zinc and a little copper. Several shipments of smelting ore also were made. Last year for production at the mine was 1949.
