The Combination Shaft in Virginia City, Nevada
Don't miss your chance to experience a captivating chapter in the history of Virginia City, showcasing the resilience, courage, and determination of the miners from that era. This is a must see when in Virginia City.
The Combination Shaft was created in 1875 as a collaborative effort among the Savage, Chollar-Potosi, and Hale & Norcross mines. The partners aimed to dig deeper into the Comstock Lode in search of new ore deposits.
Ultimately, the shaft extended over 3,250 feet, making it the deepest on the Comstock. Sadly, the ore they found at those depths turned out to be low-grade and not economically feasible.
