A short distance east of the Abe Lincoln mine the Chicago tunnel enters Globe Hill from Poverty Gulch and extends eastward to the Plymouth Rock shaft, between Globe and Ironclad hills. The tunnel is chiefly in breccia, which near Poverty Gulch is composed largely of schist fragments. Lateral branches, however, penetrate solid schist to the north and south of the line of the main tunnel. The schist on the north is continuous with a mass exposed at the surface in Poverty Gulch. That on the south is continuous with the schist exposed at Fairview.
