Why this spot
1870-1882 silver milling town
Mill town on Meadow Valley Creek where Pioche's stamp mills were built for the reliable water, linked to the mines by the 21-mile Pioche and Bullionville narrow-gauge railroad, with 500 people, hotels and saloons by 1875. After water was piped to Pioche the mills moved away, the railroad stopped by 1880 and the post office closed for good in 1898.View source →
