Real history
Frisco was an active mining camp from 1879 to 1929 and reached about 6,000 people in 1885. The Horn Silver Mine, discovered in 1875, produced over $20 million in ore by 1885 (Wikipedia).
With 23 saloons, Frisco was called the wildest town in the Great Basin. The Horn Silver Mine caved in completely on February 13, 1885; Wikipedia notes the story of a sheriff killing six men on his first night has likely been embellished (Wikipedia).
Sources differ: Wikipedia dates the cave-in to February 13, 1885 (Wikipedia); Legends of America says February 12, 1885 (Legends of America).
