Cropped view showing the open head-frame of the Oliver Shaft of the Dead Pine Mine. Not the best view, but it is a long distance shot from high up along 7th Street in Victor, so hard to get a good quality shot. I been fooled by the look of the structure to the left of the head-frame, as it appears to cut-off some part of the headframe, where it in reality is just hiding some of it, and I been fooled of another view from the opposite side showing the hoist house to have a roof the same as in this view, and me thinking it was the same while it is not… I think the hoist house is totally hidden behind this shed or what it is used for.Cropped View of the Oliver Shaft of the Dead Pine Mine, From a A View Along 7th Street in Victor.

About center of this view, is the head frame and former hoist house of the Oliver shaft of the Dead Pine seen. I did some heavy repaint of the area around the head frame towards the telegraph/telephone pole to remove the text the photographer had written here, but I do not think I have messed up the view that much. In upper left the M.T. Victor Depot is seen. This view is cropped from a postcard by Bill Lehr of Victor from Battle Mountain up near the Ajax mine. Photograph date is possible late 1930's or early 1940's. The postcard has a EKC stamp box on the backside, and Google gives info that this is from the 1939-1950 timespan, and as there are still rails seen, with railroad cars, I assume M.T. is still running, making this also fit the late 1930's and very early 1940's timeframe.Dead Pine Oliver Shaft, Cropped From; City of Victor Colo, Altitude 9747 Ft.

      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.
      graphic for visual presentation of text The ID number is from the 1903ish USGS topomap, which came with the 1906 Geology book, where the Oliver Shaft is both showing on the topomap, and on the 'Principal Underground Workings' map that also came with that book. In addition, that same 1906 book said the Oliver shaft is situated 285 feet north of the south end of the claim, sadly not marked in the Plat Map of the claim as there are no shafts at all down there…
      graphic for visual presentation of text I have some underground mining maps related to this mine. I also have a so-called Apex map even if I don't know what that is exactly. It seems to show loosely some squares I guess is structures on the surface. The underground mining maps bought through eBay, which was listed as Gold Coin maps, where the Oliver Shaft shows up, is of the 925, 825, 725 feet levels - but I think I also have the 625 and the 525 feet level in maps, just not sure if the shaft is marked or not at time of writing this April 7, 2024.
