About $50 tons of this oreis extracted and
upon the dump at the mine. Some esti-
mates show thousand tons in siPht.
Passing along the ledge to the west nu-
merous locations are seen. The Blackstone,
Ohio and Union, carrying gold, silver and
lead, are the property OF Governor McKin-
ley and others All have work upon them
and expose considerable ore.
North of the last named mines are the
Rip Van Wrinkle and Edna, owned by
Messrs. Simpson, Lyons and McOmie These
mines have shafts and open cuts upon
them, the greatest depth attained being Is
feet. The Rip Van Wrinkle ore carries gold
and silver about equal. The Edna ore as
says from So to $50 in free gold.
South of the Union and Ohio is the Cloud
and the Gold Bug. The latter is owned by
Messrs. Weber and Ostergard, in which
qu'e z body Of $40 ore is found.
West Of the Ohio is the Great Western the
property Of Messrs. Hip, wren and others.
The works aggregate 400 feet aud some
good ore is exposed.
West Of the Great Western lies the Com
m0dore, Issacs, Hicks, Eliza, Bullion and
springyille, the property of Governor Me-
kinley and others. These mines were all
worked in early days and produced most of
the bullion at that time. The ore was sill
yer, gold and lead.
Crossing Robinson canyon again to the
south are number of mines located upon
high mountain lying between Robinson
canyon and large canyon coming into
Robinson canyon from the south, known as
the canyon leading to White River. Here
are found the Hidden Treasure belonging
to Mcdonald and Cupid the Ontario, Point,
Sheba aud Chief, belongins to Messrs. Hip,
Wren and others, and some cations be-
longing to John Farrell Thee has been q
large amount OF work dee upon this
mountain and several shipments of ore
have oeen extracted. The Org is silver,gold
and lead.
West from this mountai1i ABOUT two miles
distant is the property OF Ne srs. Jackson
n lrrl n &c hn Knxy
Stone, from which a large quantity of ore
has been extracted and reduced. A num-
Der OF shipments were sent 10 che Eureka
furnaces for treatment which welded about
two hund ed dollars per ton in silver
There was also lot Of this ore reduced a
the Monitor mill, SteptCe creek, and an
oth9r lot was reduced at tn1 chairman mill
AfterWard the parties oWuir@ tic property
erected Il mill at the mine ard reduced
some OF the ore. The process they employed
was the liXiyation process to iieh the ore
readily yielded. The mine is al in good
condition to produce. OWN 10 the pres
ent low price of silver The 0Nucrs deem it
best to await change.
In addition to the lode elaims there are
within the limits of the District
PLACER MINES
About one-fonrth OF mile from the town
of Ely in the mouth of Robinson canyon.
The Robinson Canyon Consolidated Mining
Company has located about 10000 feet of
ground extending up the AVON TO point
above the Joanna mine, which is located as
placer ground. The property is worked
through shafts--six in number. The bed
rock is found at an average depth of sew
enty feet. On the bed rock from two to
eight feet Of gravel is found which carries
gold. 1t is coarse and easily saved in an
ordinary sluice box, which method is used
by the Company in the spring OF the year,
when there is surface water running down
the canyon. Several runs nave been made
in this way. The Company Is now arrang-
ing to put in dry separators, when they ex

The Maud S. placer claim al joins the
property last described, AND extends up the
canyon ana includes Twenty acres within
it's boundaries. 1t is owned b. j. B. Viii
hanson and in all respects is like the prop
erty of the Robinson Canyon Consolidated
Placer Mining Company.
1t will be seen from the above desert ptiCn
that the mineral belt extends from the May
mines at West Camp on the north west end,
covering distance of about eight miles i'll
length. The width of the belt aries s0nle.
AT places it is IDLY d l.iil, vide, md at no
pl&ce is it less than Il half nile. Mineral
can be found on all porfaas Of the belt.
There are many locations IN the district
that have not been mentioned If this arti-
clo. However a sufficient number has
been, to give the reader general idea of
It's magnitude.
Nature has done her part for the success
Of the camp. The ore is very SOFT most of
it can be mined without blasting, thereby
saving " great expense. There are ulmer-
Gus springs in the district hat con be used
at the mines, and at the toRa Vi Ely there
is "a large stream Of pure watei lhaS is not
effected by frost or by not aO5i dry Seasons.
The hills are covered with IA sban6ance of
timber, suit .ble for mining ard ilel. Good
wagon road are built 70 all portions of the
district, and all the mines ere easy of acz
cess All that is required fCr il live and
booming camp is money, aud he who in
vests will reap the reward.
