it's basically the ghost town right at the foot of the asarco smoke stack. it all got started in 1887 when the kansas city consolidated smelting & refining company set up shop just north of el paso along the rio. they put a smelter there to process lead and copper ore that they brought from mexico. a town grew up around it named smelter town, but in seventy two, they made everyone leave cause the levels of lead were poisonously high. game over.
