Clarissa Mine Upper Tunnel
The Clarissa shaft is 300 feet northeast of the Virginia Canyon wagon road and about 1,500 feet southeast of the Gilpin-Clear Creek county line. The shaft follows the Clarissa vein to the 30-foot level but below that level lies north of the vein, necessitating a 50-foot crosscut to the south on the 185-foot level.
