MARIE E. VEIN.
The Marie E. vein is a small vein or stringer which lies about 200 yards northeast of and nearly parallel with the Ellen Jane vein and stands about vertical. It has been worked to a considerable extent, principally in the diabase, by cuts and drifts, to a depth of 150 feet. It consists for the most part of a thin sheet of reddish dense crushed and altered rock material, seemingly diabase, and a little quartz 5 or 6 inches in width filling a narrow fault fissure and containing $300 in gold to the ton. It is usually frozen to the walls of the country rock diabase, where it leaves a ragged wall surface when broken off. It has been worked downward through the diabase and has about the same width and carries about the same values in the granite as in the diabase. The associated minerals are iron oxide and a small amount
of calcite occurring in crystalline incrustations. The production of this small vein is considerable. At a point toward the west a claim worked by windlass produced several carloads of good ore.
