    Extractions: McGill is a small town bordering US 93, 12 miles north of Ely. Named for William N. McGill who sold part of his ranch property for the Steptoe Valley Mining and Smelter Company (Nevada Consolidated Copper Co.) (Later Kennecott). The McGill ranch Post Office had been established in 1891. After the mill was built, the little settlement was briefly known as Smelter before being changed to McGill. McGill was a "company town" that was strictly managed by the copper company. Houses of ill repute and gambling dens were prohibited. The town was segregated by nationality and the center of town was reserved for only those who had reached high status jobs within the mining company. Residents lived in neighborhoods segregated according to their national origin. The concentration mill, other buildings and trestle which covered an area of nine acres caught fire and burned to the ground in July 1922. By 1930, the mill was rebuilt and handled 14,000 tons of copper ore daily. McGill has remained populated and has a business center. The local swimming hole is just north of the town.

    Lincoln County Nevada, located in Nevada Silver Trails, offers endless opportunities for history buffs.  
    http://www.lincolncountynevada.com/Lincoln-County-Nevada-history.html
    
    Extractions: History of Lincoln County. Eastern Nevada was home to Native Americans for thousands of years before European exploration. The early Basketmakers and later Fremont people lived in the well-watered valleys, where they grew crops of corn, beans and squash, and built permanent "pueblos." The more nomadic Southern Paiute started appearing in the area around 900 A.D., building no permanent dwellings, but - instead - moving with the seasons to hunt and gather the ripe nuts, berries, seeds and roots. The Fremont people disappeared from the archeologic record by 1200 A.D., reducing the competition with the Paiutes for the same game species which at one time included bison. Approximately 60 miles west of Meadow Valley, the Pahranagat mining District was formed in 1865, and William H. Raymond moved a mill from Los Angeles to process the ores. Success was not to be his, despite considerable investment in processing equipment As the ores dwindled, Raymond went into partnership with another Pahranagat Valley miner, John H. Ely, and they moved their mill to Meadow Valley. They established a millsite near Panaca, which processed ores from the panacker ledge, and this became known as Bullionville. Also in 1869, a new owner bought out some of the claims of the Meadow Valley Mining Company. Francois L.A. Pioche was a San Francisco businessman who invested a substantial amount of money in equipment and hired a metallurgist who was experienced in the chemical extraction of silver from its ore. A town sprang up around the claims on the 'panacker ledge,' which became known as Pioche's City, or - simply - Pioche. Because the County Seat was still located at Hiko, problems erupted. With more prospectors drifting into the area and staking claims, sometimes these overlapped prior claims. Mine owners resorted to hiring guards, and gunfighters to protect their mining claims. Guns were the only law, and Pioche made Bodie, Tombstone, and other better known towns pale in comparison with its violence. It has been claimed that seventy-five men died "with boots on" before anyone in Pioche died of natural causes.
