In September of 1906 a townsite called Henry was platted. Businesses included an eating house, a store, and a saloon. By
1907, the Bellehelen Mining Company had been formed and was working the Henry mines. A post office opened in April 1907
with the name Bellehelen. By March 1908 there were six active mining companies in Bellehelen. Activity began to decline
in late 1910 and by the beginning of 1911 the town had only fifty residents and the district fell silent soon afterwards. There were
other mining companies that worked the property until 1934 when Bellehelen emptied for good. - status: Site - (4) photos
