The Victor Gold Mining Company owns the Victor and Little Joe claims, on the northeastern slope of Bull Cliff. The total production is given as $2,216,671 to January 1, 1900, and the dividends paid to the same date $1,155,000. The last dividend was paid in December, 1898, and during the last few years the mine has been idle, except for a little leasing work in the upper levels. Shipping was resumed in July, 1904, and ore is reported to have been found on levels 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10.
The developments comprise the Victor vertical shaft, 1,800 feet southeast of the Lee shaft of the Isabella. The elevation of the collar is 10,547 feet, and the total length of drifts, shafts, and crosscuts between 2 and 3 miles. Fourteen levels are turned. Level 8 is only 429 feet below the collar. The lowest level is said to be about 1,000 feet below the collar.
