400 GEOLOGY AND GOLD DEPOSITS OF THE CRIPPLE CREEK DISTRICT. 
by level 2 of the vertical shaft, corresponding to level 5 of the Zenobia incline. 
The total development is about 6,300 feet. The property is worked on a small 
scale by lessees. 
Latite-phonolite is the only rock seen in the mine, though breccia appears in 
the shallow pits at the surface. 
VEIN SYSTEMS. 
The Pharmacist vein here strikes N. 55° E. and dips about 60° NW. A vein 
with parallel strike, but steeper dip, is seen on level 1 of the vertical shaft, about 
150 feet northwest of the Pharmacist vein. A third vein of about the same direc¬ 
tion, but nearly vertical, occurs between levels 1 and 2, 150 feet north of the vertical 
shaft. These three form a general northeast-southwest system. The Zenobia vein, 
at the point where it enters the Pharmacist claim, has a north-northeast course, 
but soon changes to a practically north-south course, which it retains in most 
of the Pharmacist workings. It dips 70° to 80°. Another north-south vein, 
approximately vertical,, crosses the Pharmacist vein at level 4 of the incline, near 
the shaft, and what is probably the same vein is encountered 80 feet southeast 
of the vertical shaft on level 1. 
CHARACTER AND OCCURRENCE OF THE ORE. 
The ore from the Pharmacist vein is an oxidized latite-phonolite, more or less 
impregnated with silica, and holding many little quartz seams, with vugs partially 
filled with crystallized smoky quartz. The values occur in the seams as rusty gold 
derived from tellurides. The vein is said to have been stoped practically contin¬ 
uously across the claim from the surface down to level 3 of the incline and down 
to level 4 for some distance northeast of the shaft. Work is now being done above 
incline level 4, 100 feet north of the shaft, in what was formerly supposed to be the 
hanging wall of the vein. The oxidized quartz-bearing portion of the vein is low 
grade at this point, but parallel fissures in the unoxidized, partially silicified latite- 
phonolite toward the hanging wall carry fluorite and sufficient telluride to make the 
value of the screenings about S30 per ton. 
A second and smaller body has been found on the Pharmacist vein between 
levels 5 and 6 of the vertical shaft, near the Burns line. The character of the 
vein and the ore are much the same as in the body described above. 
The ore from the Zenobia vein is in most respects similar to that from the 
Pharmacist vein. Quartz is perhaps more abundant, oxidation is a little more 
advanced, and narrow streaks of kaolin are frequently seen. Unoxidized fluorite- 
telluride ore is also met usually along the foot wall and outside of the zone of quartz 
doposition. The values in this vein also vary considerably, some of the ore being of 
high grade. A stope on this vein reaches from a considerable distance above level 
1 of the vertical shaft down nearly to level 2. It begins just north of the shaft and 
is 150 feet long and 4 to 12 feet wide. The values and width of the ore are greatest 
near the shaft on level 1, where a north-south vein, nearly vertical, which is itself 
stoped south of the shaft, joins the Zenobia vein. Another rich bunch of ore occurred 
near the north end of the stope, between levels 1 and 2, where the vein appeared to 
branch again. The best values were found in the east branch, but just at the fork
