Tip Top

 

Tip Top was first settled in 1875. By 18880, a post office was established and the town was officially born. During its brief existence, Tip Top was home to a grade school, two general stores, six saloons, two restaurants, a Chinese laundry, a blacksmith, a butcher, and a shoe store. With the drop in the price of silver, the Tip Top mine closed, and by 1895, the town no longer existed. Today, ruins and foundations are scattered around the area. A millsite is located a few miles to the west.
