Lot of 6 gold and silver ores from the Savage Mine, Comstock Lode, Virginia City, NV. As with many deposits of the Comstock, claims were haphazardly arranged, with many mine operators sharing surface and underground structures. This was the case with the Savage Mine, sharing a headframe with the Chollar-Potosi, Hale, and Norcorss mines. This headframe is still visible in the hills south east of Virgina City. Samples in this lot consist of argentite, galena, polybasite, proustite, pyrite, and sphalerite in quartz and range 1 to 2 inches in diameter.
