The Independence Mine In Victor, Colorado is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Winfield Scott Stratton opened the mine in 1891. He later sold it for $11,000,000 after making it rich. Victor and Cripple Creek were among the biggest gold strikes of all time, dwarfing the ones in California.
