Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.
Silver camp on the east side of the Bristol Range, first called Royal City (1876) and later Jackrabbit. A store, saloon, boarding house, and brief post office served the camp; after 1891 a 15-mile narrow-gauge line tied it to the Godbe Mill at Pioche, and an aerial tram later linked mines in the district. Collapsed headframe, tram towers, and stone ruins remain on the hillside.
