The El Paso Mountains: Other treasures....

One of the major tunnels of the Holly Mine is shown in this photograph.

The Holly Mine produced industrial-quality pumice from 1939 to 1945, and then from 1946 through the 1950's.

The pumice is actually hardened ash from a volcanic eruption that occurred approximately six million years ago.
