Panning Gold at De La Mare's Fabulous Comstock
Bonanza Mine on the Comstock Lode. One mile
south of Silver City, Nevada, on Virginia City high-
way 17. During 1858, while Henry Comstock was
still working his placer diggings, just over Grizzly
Hill in background a prospector, Fred Shields, dis-
covered a fabulous rich vein of gold ore near shaft
gallows frame in photo. First ten feet of discovery
shaft yielded $150,000.
Continuous guided underground tours by
experienced miners.
