tha same grade. Fifty tons Of ore taken
from this shaft assayed $27 in gold TO tAe
ton. The ore is the same In cnaracIes as
the Gold Hill, does not show as mucn goIo III
banning, but is remarkably regular IN rs,
saving. The ledge is very prominent ana
crops out at several points on the mine:
There are number of other locations
upon Gold Hill. The principal ones are tne
gard. Moore and Weber They have shaft
70 feet deep, drift has been run 80 feet
from the bottom of the shaft which Is all In
ore assaying 81 per ton in gold.
The Hickory, lying north OF the Hell IN
the Hill, belonging to Capt. Harmon ana
Cant. Carpenter, has shaft 80 feet deep in
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis

ledge assays $3.50 in gold and 81 per cent.
lead.
East of the Midnight short distance is
the October location, the property OF
Messrs. Simpson and Rynearson: the mine
was worked in the early days of Robinson
at which time deep shaft was sunk and
some ore was extracted which was princ1-
ply silver carrying but little gold.
Journeying to the northwest the ledge
makes turn more to the south. There are
locations most of the way upon which some
prospecting has been done which all show
gold. At a distance of about two miles the
Magma Charter is reached, the property OF
ThOs. Rockhill and others. The ore Is OF
an entire different character, resembling
the ore of the north ledge, carrying silver,
lead and gold. The ore runs about 30 per
cent. lead, ounces silver and 81 in gold.
The ledge is three feet wide at depth of
40 feet Two miles west of the Magma Char
ter the
WEST CAMP
Mines are reached. These mines were
worked in the early seventies. The ore
found here Is different in character from
the mines already described, some of them
carrying copper in large quantities. The
principal mines of this vicinity are the
DAILY, upon which there has been consider
able work done. On the former there is
shaft and open cut Ores taken from these
workings and shipped for reduction as
sayed $50 in silver and AZ per cent. lead;
The latter claim lBoss) has deep shaft out
of which some high grade silver-lead ore
has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine in the
vicinity shows vein two feet wide at a
depth of 81 feet, which assays SO per cent
lead, IS ounces silver and $50 gold.
Messrs Hip, Wren and others own seve-
raj mines in this locality, the principal
ones being the Pilot Knob, carrying gold;
the the Emma carrying gold silver an and Lead
the West, all carrying copper and ores
worked for that metal. The ore was re-
duced at local copper smelling furnace
and gave good results.
West Camp is at the extreme northwest
end of the mineral belt and upon the sum-
nit of the range.
Returning to the Aultman mine the
GOLDEN FLEECE
Lies just to the east and adjoining the Ault-
man. 1t Is the properly of Thos. Rockhill
and the Ragsdale estate. The work con-
sists of two tunnels and shaft. The ore
assays 80 ounces silver and $40 golc
South of the Golden Fleece and east of the
Southern Cross, is the Golden West, but lit
tie prospected and is owned by Williamson
q Simpson.
North of the Golden Fleece is the Golden
Wedge, owned by Messrs. Thompson &
Weber, which is also but little prospected
There Is some ore upon it that shows gold
North of the Golden Wedge is the Thor
others. 1t has shaft fifty feet deep which
exposes good ore.
Adjoining the Joana on the north and
east is the
Group, the property Of D. G. Mcdonald and
John F. Cupid. The group includes the
Florida, Dauntless and Quadrant, which
extends across Robinson canyon to the
north. Upon the Florida in the middle of
the Robinson canyon, the owners have sunk
a shaft 81 feet deep, they drifted north 25
feet and sunk again at the end of the drift
30 feet, making total depth of 142 feet
The bottom of the shaft is at the foot wall
of the ledge. They then crosscut 80 feet
ledge in the bottom to be 80 feet wide
There is also an open fissure that exposes
the ledge latterly for one hundred and fifty
feet. The ore in these workings assay from
"a to $13 per ton in gold. Two hundred feet
to the north of the shaft just described
there Is another shaft in the groupings of
the ledge 25 feet deep in which there is
eight feet of ore that assays IS per ton in
gold. The ledge is traced through the full
length of the Florida and across the Daunt-
less. Upon the Dauntless there are three
tunnels, one of which Is lis feet cutting
the ledge; one is 6S feet long cutting the
ledge, and one 80 feet which has not yet
reached the ledge. The ore assays IS, rs per
ton and carries some copper.
Upon the east extension of the Golden
Fleece Is the Lone Star, the property. of
shaft Is feet deep in ore.
Journeying along the ledge to the east q
number OF locations are passed which are
but little prospected. At distance of one
and one half miles the General Logan mine
Morris, Hip and others. There is tunnel
rs feet long. and shaft 80 feet deep on the
claim which exposes ore assaying 81 per ton
South of the General Logan is the May
Day, the property of Messrs. House, Morris
and others There is tunnel on this mine
120 feet long and an incline in the tunnel 20
feet deep in ore that assays Sc per ton in
gold and sixty ounces in silver. Some high
grade ore is also found in the May Day.
These mines are upon the extreme south
east end of the mineral belt and are about
one mile west of the town of Ely.
One mile up Robinson canyon from the
town of Ely, and upon the north side of the
canyon is Maggie hill from which point the
