Benson Arizona Ore Smelter Circa 1882

In this video we go to the site of an old west smelter in Benson Arizona. Benson wasn't a mining town, but it did process the ore from several mining districts.

The smelter operated for a brief period of time and closed. Several owners purchased it over the years but it was never put into operation again. It was dismantled and sold for scrap in 1934.
