A three-stamp gold mill once owned and operated by Johnnie Cyty, it processed ore from nearby mines. It was purchased by Cyty for $500 at a sheriff's auction and was originally used by the Hayseed Mining Company of Lee, California. The mill was located at Leeland Station on the Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad and by mid-April was being moved by horses and wagons to its current location, which was the original mill site claimed by the Big Bell Mining Company. It became operational on October 14th, 1911 and Cyty sent his first and only bullion shipment, of unknown quantity, on November 25th. No more shipments were made after this, and it was never referred to again.
