After silver was discovered in 1875, the town of Frisco was born in the San Francisco mountains. In order to process the silver ore, a smelter and charcoal ovens were also built. With a population of over 4000, Frisco boasted over 20 saloons, several hotels, schools, churches, brothels, numerous stores, and even a hospital. A mining disaster in 1885 brought production to a halt. A short revival in the early 1900's put Frisco's total output at over $70 million. The ore finally ran out in 1920, and the town was abandoned.
