The history of the Queen Bee mill
Is replete with successes and failures.
It's construction was commenced in
1879 by eastern and English capital
lists. The building was made OF stone,
six stories in height. An extensive
elevator and warehouse were built
and to get the proper head of water
a canal was blasted through the
rocks a long distance and the water
conveyed to the iron wheel in an iron
tube seven feet in diameter. Nearly
$780, 900 was expended in it's con

However, the ~waterpower was in
sufficient to operate it and the supply
of wheat obtainable at a reasonable
cost was inadequate, so that 1t was
