Millville was the site of the mill for the silver mines in Tombstone, Az.
The Tombstone Mill and Mining Company's reduction mill was one of the most complete ever set up in the west. It started operating on June 1, 1879, and the first ore was from the Tough Nut mine. It had the lowest grade of ore, which was run first and then the higher grades went next to cut down on loss.
The earthquake of May 3, 1887 caused Millville to shut down.
