Robinson and its Prospects.

eral City, Robinson District, In his company
last week. The camp is situate in a most de
sirable location, environed with hills-a natural
pass of grand old rocks forming the outlet
Riding at night between the tall palisades
which seem to stand guard over the entrance to
the town site, one is unconsciously led to gaze
at the works of the Almighty and become lost In
wonder at the magnihcence of His creation.
There are fifty or sixty houses lining the main
street on either side, which. from their new
appearance, gives one to understand that the
camp is of but recent growth. The merchants
are now composed Of several well-known pioneer
firms, among whom we notice the Hip Brothers,
James Reilly, Smith 4 Calisher, and S. Schwartz,
all of whom have considerable stocks of goods
on hand, and appear to be doing a moderate
business. OF saloons there are a goodly num-
Der, and all, as usual, appear to be doing a
thriving business in this embryo town. Accom-
modations for man and beast are plentifully
distributed, and seem to be enjoying a fair share
of patronage. The population will probably
reach three or four hundred, mostly miners and
prospectors.
THE MINEs.
We had but little time to more than make a
casual examination of the principal mines now
being worked in this section, a partial descrip-
ton of which we published in our last issue,
from received through a friendly
correspondent but can safely say the item in
question was not oVerdra~h, or IN any way
magnihed. The most noteworthy locations are
now the Hayes mine. owned and worked by a
San Francisco company, and the Aultman, the
property of Eastern men, superintendent by G..
NJ. Ogden, well known as one of the former
owners of the celebrated Richmond mine. in
Eureka District. At the former place We were
kindly shown through the underground work
ings by superintendent d. T. Gilmore, and found
that, at the depth of 100 feet, the vein, which
had been traced from the surface some hundreds
Of feet west of the shaft, was found running
easterly through the hill on which the mine is
situate. A large body of ore is now in sight, and
one fact demonstrated, viz, that depth exists in
the mineral wealth Of Robinson District.
Adjoining the Hayes on the south we saw the
Kate Hayes and other properties, which, from
the amount OF labor expended upon them, show
remarkably well and give great promise Of soon
being numbered among the bullion producing
mines OF the district. All this group of loca-
lions are characterized by free milling ores, and
differ entirely from many other prospects in
their near vicinity. In fact, Dame Nature seems
to have been exceedingly erratie in disposing the
precious metals. Distant some two miles we

There are numerous other mines around about
which have been more or less opened, but We
had time to visit only the two mentioned.
