'''Techatticup Mine''' is a former [gold](/source/gold) mine, now a tourist attraction. It is located at an elevation of {{convert|2477|ft}}, midway in [El Dorado Canyon](/source/El_Dorado_Canyon_(Nevada)), in [Clark County, Nevada](/source/Clark_County%2C_Nevada).<ref>{{GNIS|type=retired|844190}}</ref>

==History==
The Techatticup Mine was the largest and most productive mine in the [Colorado Mining District](/source/Colorado_Mining_District_(New_Mexico_Territory)). The mining camps of [Alturas](/source/Alturas%2C_Nevada) and [Louisville](/source/Louisville%2C_Nevada) were located near this mine, midway down the canyon.<ref name=Lingenfelter>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140916022812/http://www.ansac.az.gov/UserFiles/PDF/08182014/X028_FMIBurtellLingenfelterSteamboats/FMI%20Lingenfelter%20Steamboats/Steamboats%20on%20the%20Colorado%20River%201852-1916.pdf Richard E.

==Today==
The mine has been cleaned up and illuminated, and guided tours can be taken through the mine. Much of the old mining equipment is still to be seen there. A highlight of the tour is where it passes through a spectacular example of [drift mining](/source/drift_mining), its long, deep drift cut downward from the top through the mountain where its lode of ore was located.
