Virginia City Nevada Mines- Underground tour of mines in Virginia City.
Virginia City is built on a hillside that has hundreds of mines beneath it. The entire hillside is a honeycomb of former Silver mines.
We tour the Chollar Mine and the Ponderosa Mine.
The Collar Mine was first located in 1859 and was a leading producer of silver on the Comstock. It produced $17 million dollars in gold and silver over an 80 year period.
The Ponderosa Mine is located at the back of the Ponderosa Saloon which was formerly the Bank of California.
Travel deep into the underground of Virginia City with us to see what the mining days would have looked like from a miners point of view.
