Why this spot
1876-1889 silver rush camp
Silver camp south of Sutcliffe that grew to nearly 300 people in the 1876 rush, with a two-stamp mill, two saloons, a Chinese washhouse, a store, a boarding house and daily stages to Reno. It declined through the 1880s and its post office closed in 1889.View source →
