GOMSTOCKER'S
CHURCH
St. Mary's in the Moun-
tains, famed church of
colorful, historic old
Virginia City. Here the
preponderantly Irish
population of the booming
Comstock Lode thronged
for spiritual guidance in a
day when material gain
and riches are supposed to
have held all interest.
The gold and silver of the
rich mines enabled many
a communicant to help
build one of the loveliest
churches of the West.
