The Golden Cycle Mining Company owns a roughly rectangular area of 25 acres adjoining the Vindicator and the Christmas on the southeast side. It is one of the large mines of the district, notable for its output of medium-grade ore. The production, which dates from 1896, amounts to nearly $4,000,000 up to January 1, 1905. Dividends of $350,000 have been paid in the same time.
The main shaft is located on a bluff just north of the town of Goldfield, and the elevation of its collar is 10,066 feet, or 143 feet below the main shaft of the Vindicator. The shaft is 1,030 feet deep; level 3 is 276 feet below the collar, while the subsequent ones are respectively 400, 500, 600, 700, and 1,000 feet below the same datum. There are also two smaller shafts - the Anna, on the Harrison vein, and the La Bella, on the Revenue system. A tunnel with an elevation of 9,897 feet gives access to the upper workings. The total developments amount to several miles.
The Theresa property consists of the claim of the same name, adjoining the Golden Cycle on the east, and was until recently worked in conjunction with the Golden Cycle. It is developed by a shaft situated 200 feet southeast of the main shaft of the Golden Cycle. The bottom level is the same as level 7 of the Golden Cycle, but the workings of level 8 of the latter mine have also been extended into Theresa ground. Four hundred feet north of the Theresa shaft is the Tateman shaft, which explores the upper part of the Revenue system down to an elevation of 9,927 feet. There is also a crosscut 700 feet long on level 5 of the Theresa shaft which opens the whole northern part of the claim up to the boundary underneath the Tateman shaft. The drifts and crosscuts on the Theresa amount to several thousand feet.
