About Pyramid, NV

Although silver veins had been discovered as early as 1860 in the area, the Pyramid district did not attract any significant attention until the spring of 1876, when an interesting ore-specimen was noticed by a Reno physician. The physician was assisting an ill miner when the doctor noticed the specimen on the man's table. Assaying the mineral resulted in a strong prediction of excellent returns. A silver rush followed after news of the discovery had spread to other mining camps. Pyramid City sprang from up from this desert area and a two—stamp mill was built to crush silver ore.
