Champion-Providence Mine

Mill and cyanide plant of the Champion-Providence Group.

Champion-Providence Mine was a consolidation of two adjoining gold mines in Nevada City, California subsequent to the California Gold Rush. After it became the Champion Group following annexation of additional adjacent mining concerns, it became one of the two most productive mining groups in the Nevada City Mining District,[1] alongside the North Star Mine, which purchased it in 1911.[2] The Champion-Providence Mine closed in 1920.[3]
