New Camp of Bullion Sparks Nevada Mining Boom
The Reno Journal notes Bullion, 25 miles south of Beowawe in Eureka County, drawing miners and capital. Owner Frank Curieux says Bullion will be Nevada’s next great camp, with 100 residents, rapid building, a townsite, and multiple properties shipping ore. Rich lodes assay high values, including $200,000 per ton in a bonded lodge and $400 per ton on other ore, attracting Colorado and Montana investors. An auto line from Beowawe may follow soon, water is accessible, and additional finds near Mad Springs hint at a vast district potential.
