Silver discoveries in 1866 led to the formation of this mining camp on the east side of the Reveille Range.  Fifty mines were developed.  Supplies arriving via Austin took six days over vast desert floors and mountain ranges.  After a five stamp mill was constructed in 1867, a ten stamp mill was built the following year.  Both mills fell silent in a few short years.  The Gila Silver Mining Company purchased the principal properties in 1875.  The ten stamp mill was repaired and silver processing resumed.  In 1880, after the operation produced over $1.5 million, silence once again fell over Reveille.  In 1904, lead mines opened at the New Reveille site, which was located about six miles south on the western side of the Reveille Range.  Operations producing more than $4 million remained active until 1945.  Reveille is well secluded with some wood available.
