Gould & Curry Mine Dump

Roy D. Graves Pictorial Collection

An ore cart sits on the tracks on top of an ore dump in lower Virginia City. The caption identifies this as the lower dump of the Gould & Curry Mine. The main shaft of the Gould & Curry was up on D Street. So much ore was being brought out of the mines, and most of it was pretty low in precious metals, so it was just dumped in the lower parts of town.
