the Virginius mill was moved to the Revenue portal area. The mill was located just south of the <br />Revenue access road bridge across Sneffels Creek. <br />Picture 1— Revenue Mill prior to 1912 <br />As is seen in the photo, the mill was very substantial. Exact maps of the Virginius workings are <br />unavailable but it is known that most of the workings are located above the Revenue Drift extension <br />southeast of the Virginius #1 shaft. The Virginius #2 shaft was driven from the Revenue Drift <br />extension below to access silver in the Virginius vein in this area. This shaft was driven to 350 feet <br />below the Revenue level. <br />The Revenue Drift extension was continued to the southeast until the Montana Vein was intersected <br />and connections were made to the Montana Mine workings. The Montana vein (primarily rich in <br />gold) was also mined from the Revenue and ore was brought out to the Revenue Mill from these <br />workings. The Montana Mine connects to a number of other prolific mines in the Montana Vein, <br />which were consolidated by Idarado Mining Company. <br />Revenue Mine January 2015 TR 05 i -2 <br />
