Why this spot
1863-1901 silver mining camp
Silver camp named by Unionists for Ulysses S. Grant, whose miners helped get Nye County split from Esmeralda County in 1864. The Alexander company built a 20-stamp mill in 1877, enlarged to 40 stamps in 1880, and the post office ran until 1901.View source →
