Wikipedia description:
Silver City is a small residential community in Lyon County, Nevada, United States. Established in 1859, it developed as a mining settlement during the Comstock era and served as an important staging point between nearby mines and ore-processing mills along the Carson River. Although its mines never rivaled those of Virginia City or Gold Hill, Silver City played a supporting role in the Comstock mining economy. The town declined after 1869, following completion of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad, which bypassed the community.
