Real history
Lead and silver were found in Burke Canyon in 1884, starting with the Tiger Mine. The town was formally established in November 1887, when the Canyon Creek Railroad reached it from Wallace. Burke later declined, and Wikipedia reports that the Star Mine closed in 1991 and the town has no residents (Wikipedia).
