An exterior view of Hale & Norcross Mine in Virginia City, Nevada. Description typed onto the front of the card: "Hale & Norcross Mine, Comstock Lode, Virginia City. Production $11,486,000."
From the Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection (PH-00221) -- Series III. Beatty, Nevada -- Subseries III.D. Crowell Family. The Crowell fluorspar mine is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, continuously operated mines in Nevada. The dump and surface structures belie the mine's extensive underground workings and its long record of production.
