The camp of Sylvania was formed around 1872 after lead-silver ores were discovered in the Sylvania mountains. In 1875 a thirty ton smelter was built. After a four year run, all
major operations ceased with only small operators still working. A complete newer mill which ceased operation around 1976 remains today along with some newer buildings and the remains of the original mill and buildings. Sylvania was occupied
when we first visited in the 1970s. The condition of two buildings indicates that they are still sometimes occupied.
