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.
