Virginia City

Oliver Family Photograph Collections

Looking south at Virginia City from the cemetery, possibly around 1904. This was after the fortunes on the Comstock had started to decline, but there was still mining activity going on. This is the lower part of town. Several ore dumps are seen where rock was deposited after extracting the precious metals.
