Pinto Nevada History and Photos
PINTO - (1870-1903)
T18N R54E SW1/4 Section 26. 2 miles north of US 50 at a point 65 miles
west of Ely. The area was originally called Silverado. By 1871, Pinto
had blacksmith shops, boarding houses, a post office, stores, homes and
a population of 75. A $30,000 mill was built in 1872, but shut down in
January 1874 because the mine had no deposits really worth mining. Some
stone walls can be seen. Smelter ruins are east of US 50 just south of
Pinto Summit, Eureka County.
