CHAPTER III—MINES OF RAVEN AND GUYOT HILLS. 
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 
Ra<ven Hill lies in the southwest part of the central volcanic area. At its 
west base is the town of Anaconda and on its lower south slope the town of Elkton. 
On the southwest Guyot Hill forms a prominent spur, while on the northeast a gently 
sloping saddle joins Raven Hill with the higher Bull Hill. 
The prevailing rock of Raven Hill is phonolitic breccia, cut by numerous 
dikes of phonolite and “basalt.” This breccia is bounded on the west by Cripple 
Creek granite and on the south by Pikes Peak granite. 
The mines of Raven Hill, which are numerous and important, are mostly on 
the western and southern slopes. Between Anaconda and the summit of the hill 
is a group comprising the Morning Glory, Doctor-Jackpot, Ingham, Mattie D., 
and Elizabeth Cooper mines (PI. XXII, B , p. 292). Immediately west of this group 
is the Mary McKinney mine, with workings extending under Anaconda into Gold 
Hill. South of the Man" McKinney, on the north slope of Guyot Hill, are the 
Aileen and Katinka mines. On the south slope of Raven Hill are the Gregory, 
Tornado, Elkton, and Thompson mines, all owned by the Elkton company. On 
the southeastern slope is the Moose mine, and on the summit are the Joe Dandy 
and Ida May mines. 
DOCTOR-JACKPOT AND MORNING GLORY MINES. 
INTRODUCTION. 
The Doctor-Jackpot and Morning Glory group includes a number of mines 
which were formerly worked under individual ownership, but which are now con¬ 
trolled by three companies. The Doctor-Jackpot Company owns the Ingham, Mat- 
tie D., Jack G., Doctor, Elizabeth Cooper, Jackpot, and other claims, which were 
consolidated November 30, 1901. The Work Mining and Milling Company owns the 
Morning Glory, Morning Glory No. 2, Morning Glory No. 4, Ida B., and Little Clara 
claims. The present Morning Glory Gold Mining Company, with a capital of 
S 1,250,000, was organized in 1902 as a successor to'the Morning Glory Mining and 
Leasing Company. The new company owns the Aileen, P. C. W., Little Grant, and 
Lantishie claims and has long-term leases on the Morning Glory, Morning Glory No. 
2, Ida B., two-thirds of the Morning Glory No. 4, and the Rose Maud claims. Most 
of the work on the Work Mining and Milling Company’s property for the past few 
years has been done by the Morning Glory Company, largely through the Morn¬ 
ing Glory shaft, which was sunk under an agreement for the joint operation of the 
various claims. With the exception of the Aileen, the group thus constitutes 
practically a single mine, of which the total output is probably about $4,500,000. 
Most of this has come from the Doctor and Jackpot claims.
