"The name for this former mining community derived from the fact that the exposed ores carried heavy silver chloride. The community was the first Arizona mining village to come into being in the 1860s and it continues to survive. The first mines discovered included those at Silver Hill in 1863 where Hualapai Indians laid their hands on the settlers's guns and used them to kill four miners. One was shot and two others were killed by stones thrown down the mining shaft. It was a mining camp by 1864 and developed into a town so that by 1900 its population was two thousand.
