SMELTERVILLE - (1907) 2 miles southwest of
McGill. One of McGill's three fringe towns, Ragdump, Steptoe City,
and Smelterville, contained saloons, dance halls, gambling dens and
cribs. Smelterville, along with Ragdump, was shut
down in 1914 because of public outcry against the immoral activities
of the town. Tailings now cover the site of
Smelterville.
