148 GEOLOGY AND GOLD DEPOSITS OF THE CRIPPLE CREEK DISTRICT. 
the Gold King, with dividend records of $150,000, and the C. O. D., with a reported 
production of $600,000 and dividends of $150,000. Both were idle in 1904 and 
have attained their eighth or ninth levels. 
On the summit of Globe Hill are the Stratton properties of Plymouth Rock and 
Globe mines, in which extensive low-grade mineralization without many sharply 
defined veins seems to be the rule. Adjoining is the property of the Homestake 
Company, including the Ironclad mine, where direct cyaniding of oxidized surface 
ores is now carried on in a mill erected on the property. 
Gold Hill is crowned by the Anchoria-Leland mine, with a production of over 
$1,000,000 and dividends of $198,000. The shaft is 1,100 feet deep. The adjoining 
Moon-Anchor has paid dividends of $261,000, and the Half Moon (Matoa Gold 
Mining Company) has a gross production of $650,000 to its credit, but is reported 
to have paid only a small amount in dividends. None of these mines is being 
worked at present, except on a small scale by lessees. 
On the western slope is the Midget mine, actively worked at present, with a 
depth of 800 feet, a total production of $662,000, and dividends of $195,000. The 
Conundrum, in the same vicinity, is likewise worked with good results to a depth of 
600 feet. The Midget, like the mines described above, follows a vein in breccia, 
while the Conundrum is mining on a “basalt” dike in granite, close to the contact of 
the breccia. . 
In the deep gulch between Gold Hill and Raven Hill are situated the Anaconda, 
Doctor-Jackpot, and Mary McKinney mines, all working on sheeted zones forming 
lodes in the breccia. The Anaconda produced about $1,000,000, chiefly from 
upper levels, and is now being worked by lessees. The Mary McKinney is one of 
the most successful mines worked at present in the district. Its depth is 600 feet. 
The Doctor-Jackpot has $4,000,000 to its credit and likewise a handsome dividend 
record. The shaft is only 700 feet deep, water having until now prohibited deeper 
sinking. 
The breccia-granite contact is found on Guyot Hill a short distance south of 
the Mary McKinney. The extreme spur of Raven Hill, called Beacon Hill, is 
formed of an intrusion of phonolite in granite, and about this outlying volcanic 
center cluster a group of veins of great production and promise. On the eastern 
side of the hill are located the Prince Albert, Gold Dollar, and others, which are 
worked on a small scale by lessees. On the western side lie the El Paso, C. Iv. & N., 
and Old Gold mines, with their narrow but extremely rich fissure veins in granite, 
now actively and successfully worked. 
A great number of smaller mines have been worked on veins cutting the breccia 
of Raven Hill. The famous Elkton mine is situated in the deep hollow between 
Raven Hill and Battle Mountain. It has been working on an exceptionally long 
vein, partly contained in breccia, partly in granite, and generally following a 
“basalt” dike. The production approaches $6,000,000, and the depth attained is 
about 900 feet, excessive water having formed a serious obstacle to deeper sinking. 
Dividends amount to $1,200,000. The Moose mine, situated higher up on the slope 
of Raven Hill, had a good ore shoot, from which $500,000 was obtained. 
Continuing northwest, we soon attain the summit of Bull Hill, which affords a 
magnificent panorama, not only of the whole camp, but of a large part of the State
