Frisco, Utah

Frisco is a ghost town[2] in Beaver County, Utah, United States.

[4] Frisco developed as the post office and commercial center for the San Francisco Mining District, and was the terminus of the Utah Southern Railroad extension from Milford.

[3] By 1885, over $60,000,000 worth of zinc, copper, lead, silver, and gold had been transported from Frisco from the many mines in the area.

[5] Frisco's fortunes changed suddenly on February 13, 1885, when the Horn Silver Mine caved in completely.

It was an unconventional mine, an open pit 900 feet (270 m) deep braced with timbers, and could have collapsed at any time.
