Consolidated Virginia Mining Company

The Consolidated Virginia Mining Company, on the Comstock Lode at Virginia City, Nevada, was organized in 1867. After striking the "big bonanza" in 1873, the company produced over one hundred million dollars from 1873-1882 and dominated the Comstock from 1875 until its interests were sold to San Francisco stockbrokers in 1895. In the 1930s the Consolidated Virginia Mining Company was reactivated to mine and mill the remaining ore until 1942, when production continued sporadically thereafter.
