170 ECONOMIC GEOLOGY OE SILVERTON QUADRANGLE, [bull. 182. 
Fountain lode, which runs southwest of and approximately parallel 
with the Pride of the West lode. Its general course is X. 42° W 
The crosscuts show that between this and the Pride of the West lode, 
which appears never to have been reached in these lower workings, 
are several other generally parallel lodes, none of which carry pay ore, 
as far as prospected. 
The ore from the upper workings of the Pride of the West is brought 
down to the road by a small wire-rope tramway, and is thence hauled 
to the railroad at Howards ville in wagons. 
Philadelphia mine. — This is a small mine higher up the slope and 
apparently on the same lode as the Pride of the West. Work on it 
began in 1875, and it is said to have contained a single pocket of ore, 
chiefly freibergite with a little galena, which afforded about 100,000 
ounces of silver. It has been idle for years. 
Other lodes. — There are several other lodes on Green Mountain 
between Stony and Cunningham gulches. Several of these have pro- 
duced small pockets of ore, but have never been extensively mined. 
The stronger lodes run approximately northwest and southeast. One 
of these is prominent along the crest of the mountains. Some large 
masses of barren-looking white Quartz outcrop along the course of 
the lode, but often the rock (andesite) is bleached and full of small 
quartz stringers for a width of about 30 feet. About a quarter of a mile 
northwest of the summit of Green Mountain this lode cuts an older 
vein of solid white quartz, about 10 feet wide, accompanied by some 
parallel stringers. This older vein strikes N". 60° E. and dips south- 
east at 80°-85°. The lode along the ridge at this point dips southwest. 
U, On the northern spur of Green Mountain the veins form a complex 
network. A few only of the better-defined ones are shown on the 
map. As far as could be determined they are all of the same age. 
As a rule they show small indications of mineralization. I was 
informed, however, by the owner of one of the claims that ore 
occurred in scattered pockets, from one of which he had taken out a 
carload running 3 ounces of gold per ton. 
North of the Pride of the West is a lode running generally parallel 
to the road. There are several prospects upon it, but it has never 
produced pay ore. In one of these prospects, the Osceola, just north 
of the Pride of the West, occurs a very curious banded ore, described 
more fully in the general section on the ores. Owing to the caved 
state of the tunnel this banded ore could not be studied in place. 
LODES OF GALENA MOUNTAIN AND VICINITY. 
General. — Lender this heading there will be described not only the 
fissure deposits on Galena Mountain itself, but those of Maggie, Por- 
cupine, and Stony gulches. Galena Mountain is an exceedingly 
precipitous peak, the upper part of which is composed chiefly of 
andesite, both massive and fragmental (tuff-breccias), belonging to
