mates show thousand tons in sight
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 equ9l. The Edna ore as
says from S. 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 Disregard, in which
qu:e 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 and some
good ore is exposed
West of the Great Western lies the Com
modore, Issacs, Hicks, Eliza, Bullion and
Springville, the property of Governor Nc
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 tho
south are a number of mines located upon
high mountain lying between Robinson
canyon and a large canyon coming into
Robinson canyon from the south, known -
the canyon leading to. White River. Here
are found the Hidden Treasure, belonging
to Mcdonald and Cupid; the Ontario Point,
Sheba and Chief, belonging to Messrs. Hip,
Wren and others, and some locations be-
longing to John Farrell. There has been .
large amount of work done upon this
mountain and several shipments of ore
have been extracted. The ore is silver gold
and lead.
West from this mountain about two miles
and Kind of Eureka, known Us the 10y
Stone, from which large quantity ore
has been extracted and reduced. \ ulan-
Der of shipments were sent to the l2'4reka
two hund ed dollars per ton i'll Sllyer
There was also lot of this ore rednse.i
the Monitor mill, Steptoe creek and an
other lot was reduced at the Chairman mill
Afterward the parties owning Che pr3pert
erected a mill at the mine and reduced
some OF the ore. The process they em ployed
was the lixivation process to which the ole
readily yielded. The mine is still in good
condition to produce. Owing to the pres
ent low price of silver the owners deem it
best to await a change.

PLACER MINES 4
About one-fOurth of a mile from the town
of Ely in the mouth of Robinson canyor
The Robinson Canyon Consolidated mimi j
Company has located about 10000 feet
ground extending up the canyon to a poiI
above the JOaua mine, which is located a.
placer ground. The property is worke :.
j
rock is found at an average depth of sew
enty feet. On the bed rock from twoto
eight feet of gravel is found which carries
gold. 1t is coarse and easily saved in Ap
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 have been made
in this way. The Company is now arrang-
ing to put in dry separators, when they ex.
pect the property viii be made pay.
The Maud s. placer claim adjoius tho
property lsst described, AMI extends up tho
canyon and includes twenty acres within
its boundaries. 1t is owned by j. Is. Will
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 description
that the mineral belt extends from the May
Day mine on the southeast end to tho
mines at West Camp on the northwest emit,
covering u distance of ABOUT eight miles in
length. The width of tine belt varies some.
At places it is fully u mile wide, and at TO
place is it less than II half mile. Mineral
can be found on all portions of the lielt.
There are many locations in the strict /
that have not been mentioned in this s.rtf-
Gle. However a sufficient number has
been, to give the reader general icca of
its magnitude.
Nature has done her part for the s1taecu
of the camp. The ore is very soft, npas Of .
it can be mined without blasting, t',@es,i.y
saving great expense. There are II ,Yn,r- I
Gus springs in the district that can be u L
at the mines, and at the town of Ely era
is n large stream of pure water thai - il Il
effected by frost or by not and dry sehaoiss-
The hills are covered with an abundsNeA "
timber, suitable for mining and fuel. t,o,d
wagon roads are built to all portions 70
district, and all the mines are eass i
cess. All that is required for y liz II n
booming camp is money, aud he VINO
vests will reap the reward.
