from this shaft assayed $27 in gold to tie
ton. The ore is the same in character as
the Gold Hill,doesnot show as much gold in
banning, but is remarkably regular in as
saying. The ledge is very prominent and
crops out ri several points on the mine.
There are a number OF other locations
upon Gold Hill. The principal ones are the
City of New York, owned by Messrs 0sti-
card, Moore and Weber. They have shaft
20 feet deep, a drift has been run 50 feet
from the bottom Of the shaft which is all in
ore assayine 81 per ton in gold.
The Hickory, ing north OF the He'll in
the Hill, be1Onp n TO Capt Harmon and
Capt. Carpenter, las 81 shaft % feet deep in
ore.
North Of the Gold Hill mine some dis
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
tons owned by d. c. Mcdonald. Jas. p. Me
Omie, J. Z. Simpson ard others. There is
shaft on this mine 50 feet deep which taps
a strong ledge six feet wide of ore assaying
$l8 in oold. 4 small streak OF ore in the
LEDGE assays Sl50 in gold and 81 per cent.
lead.
East OF the Midnight short distance is
the October location, the property of
Messrs. Simpson and Rynedrson The mine
was worked III the early days of Robinson
at which time a deep shaft WIS sunk and
some ore was extracted which was princi-
ply silver carrying but little gold.
JOureeying to the northwest the LEDGE
makes turn more to the south. There are
locations most OF the way upon which some
gold. Al q distance OF about Two miles the
Magma Charter is reached, the property OF
Thos. Rockhill and others The ere is Of
an entire different character, resembling
the ore OF the north ledge, carrying silver,
lead and gold. The ore runs about 80 per
cent. lead, 3 ounces silver End 81 in gold.
The ledge is three feet wide at depth OF
10 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 mere 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
Boulder and Boss, the property OF John
DAILY, upon which there has been consider
able work done. On the former there is
shaft and OPEN cut. Ores taken from these
WORKINGS aud shipped for reduction as
saved $50 in silver and z per cent. lead.
TIE latter claim (BOss) has 81 deep shaft out
Of which some high grade silYer-lead ore
has been extracted.
The RagsdAle and Rockhill mine IN the
icinity shows vein two feet wide at
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 Emma, carrying gold, silver and lead:
the Monmouth, Mdalt0 tor, Star and Star Of
the West, all carrying copper and ores
worked for that metal. the ore was re-
duc6d nj p local copper smelling furnace
And gave good results.
West Camp is st the extreme northwest
end Of the mineral bel aud upon the sum
nit Of the RANGE.
Returning to- the Aultman mine the
GOLDEN FLEECE
Lies just to the east ana adjoining the Ault-
man. 1t is the properly of Thos. Rockhill
and the Ragsdale estate. The work con
sists OF two tunnels and SHIFT. The ore
assays 50 ounce silver and $40 gold
South of the Golden Fleece and east of the
Southern Cross, is me Golden West, but lit
tie prospected and is owned by Williamson
4 Simpson.
North OF the Gol len Fleece is the Golden
Wedge, owned by Messrs Thompson Il
Weber, which is also but little prospected.
There is some ore upon it That SHOWS gold.
North OF the Golden Weige is the Thor
orghDred, belonging To Nm. Watson ard
others. It has snait tittg feet deep which
exposes good ore.
Adjoining me Joanna on the north and
east IS the
FLORIDA
Group the property o. D. c. Mcdonald and
John L. cupid. The group includes che
Florida, Dauntless and Quadrant, which
extends across Robinson canyon to the
north. Upon, the Florida in the middle of
the Robinson canyon, the owners nave sunk
a shaft 81 feet Deep they arIfted north Is
feet a0d sunk again 8C the end Of the drift
IS feet, making total depth of l42 feet.
The bottom of the shaft is 81 the foot wall
Of the ledge. They then crosscut 30 feet
reaching the hanging wall, showing the
ledge in the bottom to be 80 feet wide.
There is also an open tssure that exposes
the ledPe lHtterly for one hundred and fifty
feet. The ore in these workings assay from
81 to SIS 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 eet deep in which there is
eight feet OF ore that assays s. per ton in
goid. The LEDGE is traced through the full
length Of the Florida and across the DQunt-
less. Upon the Dauntless there are three
tunnels, one of which is l15 feet cutting
the ledge; one is GO feet long cutting the
ledge, and one 80 feet which has not vet
ton and carries some copper.
Upon the east extension of the Golden
Fleece is the Lone Star, the property of
Messrs. Hayes d Berry, on which there is a
shaft Ii ie55 deep in ore.
Journeying along the ledge to the east
number of locations are passed which are
but little prospected. AT a distance OF one
and One-hGlf miles the General Logan mine
is located, the property of Messrs. House,
Morris, Hip and others. There is tunnel
- feet long, and a shait 81 feet deep on the
claim which exposes ore dss4ying 81 per tom

These mines are upon the extreme south
