ROBINSON BIsTRICT.
Gold Mines 60 she Front-nesl IEs'
tate Advancing I'm Ely - Bssed
ON she Prospects Of . Big Mining
saie-The Mines are Good.

The residents Of Ely feel happy
just now, being inspired with hopes
that the visit OF Messrs. Gibson and
Eckerley will result in great and per-
manent benefit to that town. These
gentlemen are men of means and great
experience in mining, and the fact OF
their having 30 fully examined the
mines In that locality and bonded the
Chairman and Joanna claims for
large amount, is evidence that the
people there are not single In the be-
lief that the mines are undoubtedly
Good. The Chairman and Joanna il
is now SO confidently believed will
change hands, that real estate since
two months ago has advanced l20 per
cent. Matters that have heretofore
stood in the way OF the Joanna sale
are now arranged 30 as not TO affect
the present pending negotiations.
The Joanna but q few months ago
was thought TO be the "bonanza" Of
the district, but the Chairman is now
said to be ION top" or in other words
the most valuable mine OF the two.
Both of them are essentially gold
mines, although the Chairman carries
a little more or less silver. The
Chairman is owned by Messrs. Under
hill, Lyons, McOmie and McGill.
They have obtained battery samples
of from forty 10 fifty dollars in gold
and practically demonstrated that, by
the cyanide process they can save over
80 per cent Of the gold product. The
Chairman and Joanna mines are
situated nearly parallel and adjoining
each other on the southeastern hill
side Of Robinson Canyon, the latter
being situated at the base OF the hill
and the former higher up. Porphyry
rocks form the hanging wall OF the one
and the footwall OF the other, but the
veins are separated by a reef Of lime
stone. II the gentlemen who have |
bonded these mines conclude 10 pur-
chase them they will put up an ex-
tensive milling plant in the fat below |
the town OF Ely, where the water from |
Murray Creek can be used with fall Of |
125 feet. An electric tramway will be |
built between the mines and the mill. |
A Pelton wheel will be put in at the |
mill 10 run a dynamo and generate |
electricity sufficient TO operate the |
tramway and light the mines, mill,
tramway and the town. II is quite |
evident from all that has been learned
through the Developments OF the past |
two or three years that Robinson Dis
trict, in addition 10 silver, copper and
lead mines, has a gold belt OF extraor-
dinary value. and We hope the me-
gotiations now pending as above
stated will be successful.
