General notes:
Not much I can write here as info about this shaft on the Dead Pine Lode claim. This Shaft is not visible on the Plat Map of the claim, but that Plat Map dates back to having been approved July 27, 1892, with a 'Date of Amended Location Certificate' of May 20, 1892 given as Location Date, making this Shaft a later one.

Being the ID number is from the 1903ish USGS topomap, this became the southernmost shaft on the claim shown on that topomap. It is located near the south end line border; shown as a Prospect shaft in Sanborn 1900 and gone by the time 1908 Sanborn was made; also had a dump tunnel made in wood, where the original High Line entered the town of Victor.

In the 1906 Geology book this southern shaft is mentioned as being an incline one, with 4 levels, while the 'Principal Underground Workings' map in that same 1906 book has a unnamed shaft marked in southwest corner of the claim, appearing to be very near a 'street corner' in Victor, still to be identified at time of writing this April 7, 2024.
