In between 1916 and 1918, a tungsten concentrator was erected at Toulon.[4] The concentrator processed scheelite ore from the Ragged Top Mining District near Ragged Top Mountain.[4] In 1918, the mill was turned in to an arsenic mill that processed ore from near Battle Mountain.[5]
The mill was acquired in 1929, but remained idle until 1936, when it was refurbished.[6] The mill played an important role refining tungsten ore from Nevada and California during WWII including a 1943 addition of a flotation plant.[6][7] The plant was operated in the 1930s[8] and 40s by Ott Heizer,[7] who was the father of Robert Heizer, the archaeologist and grandfather of Michael Heizer, the land artist and sculptor.
