Which state is this, dude?

You've probably learned all about the California Gold Rush, which kicked off in 1848 (and helped name San Francisco's pro football team). You probably didn't know that this was followed by a short-lived Silver Rush from 1881 to 1896 in the Calico Mountains that promptly turned the town of Calico into a ghost town.
