History


Bullion was established in 1870 after the discovery of silver. Several smelters were built in the town. In 1871, Bullion had a hotel, two saloons, a merchandise store, and 12 houses, three years after Bullion started a period of great crisis with a great exodus of population.[2] At present nothing remains but large slag heaps, smelter foundations, stone ruins, and a small cemetery.[2]
