Victoria Mine Historic Structures Report, Parts I and II
Appleman RE and Jones R. 1969. Victoria Mine Historic Structures Report, Parts I and II. National Park Service. Washington, DC
This Historic Structures Report, Parts I and II, of the Victoria Mine, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, has been prepared pursuant to Historical Resource Study Proposal ORPI-H-1, approved February 15, 1968, and as a part of the 1969 fiscal year History Division research program. Because of the limited material available on the history of the structures, their relatively simple and uncomplicated nature, and the meager remains, this report combines Parts I and II. The Victoria Mine structures report is only a part of the Study Proposal which includes also the Milton Mine, the Blankenship Ranch, the Gachado Sub-ranch, and the Pozo Nuevo Line Camp. The Milton Mine will be treated separately, and the latter three items, all a part of the Blankenship ranching operations in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, will be grouped together for a third separate report. Source material has been fugitive with respect to the Victoria Mine. Nearly all the material used in this report has come from the files of the national monument. The Victoria Mine was never a major mining operation, but it did have its period of profitable operation. There were others like it in the Sonora Desert region of the Southwest that are today silent and mute, but Which possess unmined riches that may one day make them scenes of active ore production. Bill Hoy, Richard H. Begemen, and Richard Cunningham of the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument staff have been most helpful to the writer in many ways.
