New Reveille
After mining at Reveille had largely subsided, new silver-lead findings on the western side of the range. New developments by Herman Reischke and later the Southwestern Nevada Mines Co. led to the establishment of a new camp in 1904. Initially, the name Carbon was proposed, but denied by the Post Office Department, so the name Morristown was chosen instead to appeal to a potential financer. Less than a year later, the Reveille name was revived. Additional silver and lead deposits led to further growth, and in 1907 claims were made that New Reveille would soon lead Nevada in production of the minerals. Additional strikes that year brought the population to 150 before beginning a steady decline. The post office closed in 1911, though some intermittent activity continued until the 1940s. More than $30,000 - mostly lead - was produced at New Reveille.
