Hunter Nevada History



HUNTER - (1872-1909)
19 miles north of US 50, 21 miles west of Ely. By 1877, this little lead and silver camp on the west flank of the Egan Range contained a post office, six saloons, a blacksmith shop, three restaurants, two general stores and about forty houses. Mining ceased here in 1885 until 1905.  In 1909, once again, Hunter died. It is rumored a bootlegger operated a still here during the depression. Foundations and smelter ruins remain.
