Silverbow came to life shortly after silver discoveries in 1904.  One year later, Silverbow embraced a post office, stores, saloons, meat company, and a newspaper.  The first silver shipments were made in early 1906.  However, Silverbow lasted only until mid-year before joining the multitude of dead towns in the county.  A small revival in 1913, and again in 1920 didn't last long enough to sustain a camp.  Silverbow is a well secluded campsite with plenty of firewood available.  A few buildings, along with a graveyard about a mile from town, are all that remain.

this building is probably from the later revivals
