Boston Mill, Emery City Arizona Territory (Ghost Town)

Boston Mill was an accidental find. We were exploring the mills in Charleston (Gird and Tombstone mills) and the trailhead listed this mill. We decided that we take the hike and see what there was to see.

This was a huge mill, at least as big as the mills in Fairbank and Charleston.

I really couldn't find any solid information about this place. It appears that it is part of or connected to Emery City, another place that has little information. I found a hiker's blog (listed below) that had the most information. He claims the mill was built by the Boston and Arizona mining company and processed ore from Tombstone's Emerald Gulch and Groden mine in the Dragoon mountains.
