The Victory Placer Mine is situated on a bench southwest of Cow Creek approximately 8 miles downstream of Glendale.  The first water right of the Victory Mine was taken in 1854 the name of whom is not recorded.  The Placer Mine includes 300 acres of patented land with 120 acres held by location. The Placer was worked in 1897 by John Addison and Colonel Taylor.  It was then worked intermittently between 1900 and 1927 by Marrim, Nash, Blazlui and Ed Kemp.  The mine was owned by a Mr. Bank in 1927 and a Mr. Cook in 1930 and by 1932 was leased to George S. Reid and assigned to Victory Mining Company. Cook, the owner of the property, lost it in a sheriff's sale in 1937 whereupon Walker and Purvine purchased it.  The Placer Mine included a blacksmith's shop and eight buildings including a shop, a garage and living quarters.  It also included three ditches: one from Tuller Creek and two from Merriman Creek. Approximately five thousand feet of 9 inch to 24 inch pipe was used on the placer mine together with five number two giants. Only the trace of the ditches and a part of a house and two miner shacks were all that remained of the mine in1981.  A portion of the house that still stood showed that it was a rectangular, one and one-half story, gabled house made from 8 X 8 hewn posts and beams.  Nine posts were erected, one in each corner and one between each corner on all sides.  Beams connected the tops of each post with rabbet and dado joints.  A ridge pole for the gable roof was suspended from the end beams and a central beam.  The rafters were made of peeled poles and the roof was shaped.  Walls were infilled between the posts with 1 X 8 inch rough sawn lumber.  The house had a dirt floor. The miner shacks were intact in 1981 and were 10 X 12 feet, one story and were of a box construction made from 1 X 10's.  Each shack had but one door which was five feet tall and two windows which were three feet high.  All other buildings at the Placer Mine had been pushed down or fallen down by 1981.
