Ten to sixty-five ounces of silver per ton. After the mid-1870s, when the focus turned to mining for antimony, silver ceased to be of interest. Lead was produced from several mines beginning in the 1840s, particularly the Davis and Bellah mines in Sevier County. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has maintained the Bellah mine property as a park on the shore of De Queen Lake.For additional information:Comstock, T.
