MINES OF RAVEN AND GUYOT HILLS. 
315 
The Morning Glory, Doctor, Ingham, and Mattie D. mines began to ship ore 
in 1893, and the Elizabeth Cooper and Jack G. in 1S95. In August, 1895, rich ore 
was found in the Doctor, and during the month of September, 1896, this mine was 
reported as shipping 600 tons of 10-ounce ore. In 1898 the Jackpot began to ship, 
and in the following year paid dividends amounting to $150,000. In 1900 the 
Doctor and Jackpot companies became involved in a legal contest for possession 
of the great ore shoot, which was settled by the consolidation, as previously stated, 
of the two companies in November, 1901. The Doctor-Jackpot mine continued 
to ship ore during 1902, but the company was much hampered in its operations 
by water. In 1903 the main pay shoot had been nearly worked out down to the 
water level and the company suspended operations. The mine is at present oper¬ 
ated by lessees. 
UNDERGROUND DEVELOPMENT. 
The workings of this group of mines are extensive, the numerous drifts and 
crosscuts penetrating a large portion of the western half of Raven Hill. The area 
exploited has a length from west to east of about 2,800 feet, and from north to south 
of about 1,800 feet. The principal access to the workings at present is the vertical 
Morning Glory shaft, near the “Low Line” station of the same name. This shaft 
is a little over 700 feet in depth and has three levels situated 100, 550, and 700 feet 
below the collar. Of these the 550-foot level is most extensive and is shown in 
fig. 31. The mouth of the Doctor inclined shaft is 950 feet east of the Morning 
Glory shaft and about 200 feet higher up the slope of Raven Hill. It follows the 
northwest dip of the Doctor-Jackpot lode down to a point about 40 feet above the 
700-foot level of the Morning Glory shaft. The Doctor levels are about 50 feet 
apart vertically, the 700-foot Morning Glory level corresponding to level 17 of the 
Doctor, and the 550-foot Morning Glory level to level 14 of the Doctor. The 
general angle or dip of the incline is 55°. The Doctor shaft house was destroyed 
by fire a year or two ago, and the incline is no longer used. None of the levels above 
10 were accessible at the time of visit. On the Jackpot claim are two shafts, one 
vertical and one inclined. The vertical shaft, 300 feet southeast of the Morning 
Glory shaft, connects with the 550-foot Morning Glory level and is still in use. A 
small shaft on the Elizabeth Cooper claim is also in use by lessees. Scattered 
over the property are a number of other shafts, such as the Ingham and Chief, 
on the Ingham lode, which are no longer in use. There are also two adits, formerly 
of more importance than now. These are the Doctor tunnel, with its portal near 
the collar of the Doctor incline; the Orehouse tunnel, which is level 1 of the Doctor 
shaft, and the Mattie D. tunnel, about 500 feet east-southeast of the Doctor incline. 
The Mattie D. tunnel follows the Mattie D. lode, which has been worked also through 
an inclined winze to a depth of nearly 300 feet below the adit level. 
The Anaconda-Raven tunnel passes through the property and connects with the 
Doctor shaft at level 5. About 700 feet northeast of the Raven is the Standard 
tunnel (not the Standard drainage tunnel), which connects with the Doctor shaft 
at level 4. 
The principal drifts of the Doc tor-Jackpot and Morning Glory mines follow 
the northeast-southwest Doctor-Jackpot lode, the longest single drift being that
