The Eldorado Pass district, an area about 2 miles in diameter, lies west of the White Hills at Eldorado Pass, on the road leading to Eldorado Canyon, at an elevation between 2,500 and 3,000 feet. The topography is one of gentle relief. The country rock is the pre-Cambrian granite, and it is intruded and locally overlain by the Tertiary volcanic rocks. The principal properties are the Burrows, Bagg, Young, and Pauly. They are in the prospect stage, but have produced some gold, the production of the Burrows being reported to be about $10,000. The metals of the three first named are gold and silver in quartz veins; the Pauly, which seems to be at the contact between the granite and the volcanic rock, contains principally copper.
