In 1878, silver was discovered in the Santa Ana Mountains in Orange County. Following the discovery, many people traveled from around the United States to what is now known as Silverado (hence the name) and mined in the Blue Light Mine. If you ever have the chance to travel to Silverado, many of the old structures and remnants of the mines can still be found.
