The Zenobia mine belongs to Stratton's estate and occupies the northeasterly projection of the large area on Bull Hill, owned by this company. It was one of the earliest producers of the camp; its output is stated to have been $140,863. A few years ago W. S. Stratton reopened the mine, sinking a vertical shaft 500 feet deep. The explorations were not very successful, and in 1904 the mine was worked only on a small scale by lessee.
The developments comprise an incline, now abandoned, with seven levels, and located 225 feet southwest of the Pharmacist incline; also a new vertical shaft 527 feet deep, with four levels, 215, 315, 415, and 515 feet below the collar, which has an approximate elevation of 10,675 feet. Level 4 is about 100 feet below level 7 of the old incline. The total length of drifts and crosscuts is 4,000 feet.
