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]

gollark: I prefer it. It looks more like an actual CC computer, and is minimalist.
gollark: I don't like it, I think the regular one looks better, no need to have this all the time for whatever reason.
