Potosi or Potosi Camp, was called Crystal City in the 1870s, a mining ghost town in Clark County, Nevada.
Operations ceased in 1857 after 9,000 lbs of lead were extracted due to difficulties in smelting the ore.[3] Nothing further was done with the mine until 1861.
[5] After the Salt Lake and San Pedro Railroad was built through Clark County in 1905, it became possible to mine zinc in the Potosi Mine.
[5] The site of Potosi appears barren of ruins.
