[2] Today a historical marker commemorates Blair along State Route 265 just north of Silver Peak.

At one time Blair was a thriving, albeit short-lived, mining boom town.

Nearby, in Silver Peak, land speculators were driving land prices so artificially high that the 100-stamp mill planned for Silver Peak was relocated and built a mile and a half west, where it became the hub of Blair.

It was the Pittsburg-Silver Peak Gold Mining Company that was responsible for the large mill that went up in 1907; at the time it was Nevada's largest such facility.

Besides the historical marker the only reminders of the town are the remains of stone buildings and the foundation of the old mill.
