Victor - The Heart of a Gold Boom 1896

This episode is taken from the Rocky Mountain News of January 1, 1896. It presents a prosperous and hopeful Victor, Colorado that, while the most productive gold producer in the gold camp, is overshadowed by her sister city, Cripple Creek. During the episode I mention our episode about the 1899 fire in Victor. You can find that episode by clicking here. Below are illustrations from the article.
