Virginia City

Oliver Family Photograph Collections

Looking southwest 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. A large ore dump is seen where rock was deposited after extracting the precious metals. Downtown is in the distance.
