The stamp mill at Trapshooter Reilly Mine, Yavapai County, Venezia, Arizona.
The processing mill for the Venezia areas was built in the early 1930s. One of the successful ventures was the Sharpshooter group of mines located in the Crooks Canyon area. These mines had names such as the “Trapshooter” Reilly Gold Mine, the Crook, the Venezia, the Starlight, and Mount Union mines among many others.
Venezia's stamp mill as a processing center for many mines in the surrounding area. At its’ zenith, the town boasted a 20 stamp mill, a post office, a store, stage stop, saloon, and more. The village had only about 75 residents at its' peak. When the mines played out during the 1930’s, so did the town itself. The Forest Service dynamited and bulldozed the town site in the 1970's, for safety issues, leaving only scattered broken foundations of the mill site, and a few markers and grave sites as evidence of Venezia’s former self.
