Hi Megan,
You might want to check with the Arizona Historical Society and/or Az.
St. Museum in Tucson. A line of lime kilns was worked along Silverbell
Road in the 1880s northwest of Tucson. At least two are still
accessible off the side of the road. The most famous Silverbell lime
kiln (destroyed during the 1950s) was related to the still unresolved
mystery of the "Roman-Jew" Relics --aka The Tucson Artifacts -- made
out of lead and dug out during the 1920s by Drs Cummingd, Douglas,
Haury and other personnel from ASM/UA.
