The Silver Bell Mine is a former mine located south of the Mountain View Mine in Squaw Valley.

Copper, Gold, Lead, Silver[1] and Tungsten were reported.

The Silver Bell Mine is likely part of the Deephole Mining District.

In 1919, silver and lead were struck.[2]

In 1925, rich values were reported.[3]

Copper ore shipments from the Silver Bell ended in June 1951.[4]
