context_page_description: Treasure Hill is an east-jutting spur of the White Pine Range of White Pine County in the easte central of the U.S. states of Nevada. Hamilton is situated at the northern base of the hill while Treasure City is situated on the hill, 2.5 miles from Hamilton. It lies to the east of Mount Hamilton and to the northwest of Mokomoke Hill. It was noted for its silver mining from 1867 until the late 1880s. Between 1867 and 1880, the total production from the mines of the Treasure Hill was valued at $20 million. By early 1881 the mining activity had collapsed as the mining of the hill was dependent on the deposits and not on the lasting silver bearing geological veins. As a result, by 1888 there were only 24 people living there with the principal towns of Hamilton at the base of the hill, the Treasure City on the hill side and the Shermantown went into oblivion.
