Bullion, Nevada

Bullion is a ghost town in Elko County, in the American state of Nevada.

[1] Bullion was established in 1870 after the discovery of silver.

Several smelters were built in the town.

In 1871, Bullion had a hotel, two saloons, a merchandise store, and 12 houses, three years after Bullion started a period of great crisis with a great exodus of population.

[2] At present nothing remains but large slag heaps, smelter foundations, stone ruins, and a small cemetery.
