the Gold Hill does not snow as much gOld IN
pauning, but is remarkably regular in as
saying. The ledge is very prominent and
crops out at several points Oh the mine.
There are Il number of other locations
upon Gold Hill. The principal ones are the
City of New York, owned by Messrs. Osti-
20 feet deep, a drift has been run 30 feet
from the bottom OF the shaft which is all in
ore assaying 81 per ton in gold.
The Hickory, living north OF the He'll in
the Hill, be1ong.ny to Capt. Harmon and
Capt. Carpenter, mas shaft 80 feet deep in
ore
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis
lance is the Midnight aud Phoenix lOca-
lions, owned by d. G. Mcdonald. Jas. P. Me-
0mie, J. B. Simpson and others. There is
shaft On this mine 90 feet deep which taps
strong ledge six feet wide OF ore assaying
SIS in gold. A small streak of ore in the
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 princi-
ply silver carrying but little gold.
Journeying to the northwest the ledge
makes a turn more to the south. There are
locations most of the way upon which some
prospecting has been done which all show
gold. At q 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, 3 ounces silver and 81 in gold.
The ledge is three feet wide at q 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 III 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 a
shaft and open cut. Ores taken from these
sayed $50 in silver and AZ per cent lead.
The latter claim (Boss) has a deep shaft out
Of which some nigh grade silver-lead ore
has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine il the
icinity shows a vein two feet wide at a
depth of 81 feet, which assays 50 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 sold, silver and lead
the Mommouth, Monitor, Star and Star of
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 a shaft The ore
assays so ounce silver and $40 cole.
South of the Golden Fleece and east Of the
hnr ic hn al OF 1rrf1
tie prospected and is owned by Williamson
d Simpson.
North OF the Golden 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 Wedge is the Thor
oughbred, belonging to VIM. Watson and
others. 1t has shaft fifty feet deep which
exposes good ore.
Adjoining the Joanna on the north and
east is the
FLORIDA
Group, the property of D. c. Mcdonald and
John r. 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 Aobinson canyon, the owners hayesunk
g shaft 81 feet deep, they drifted north 25
feet and sunk again at the end of the drift
80 feet, making total eepth OF l12 feet.
The bottom OF the shaft is at the foot wall
Of the ledge. They then efosscut 80 feet
reachinC TIE han"ing wall, showing the
ledge in the bottom to be 80 feet wide.
There is also an open assure that exposes
the ledge latterly for one hundred and fifty
feet. The ore in these WORKINGS assay from
81 10 $l3 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 ieet deep in which there is
eight feet OF ore that assays 81 per ton in
gold. The ledge is traced through the full
length of the Florida and across the DAMMIT
less. Upon the Daantless there are three
tunnels, one Of which is Il5 feet cutting
the ledge; one is 6S feet long cutting the
ledge. and one 50 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 u
shaSt Is feet deep in ore.
Journeying along the ledge to the east a
number of locations are passed which are
but little prospeCted. At a distance of one
and one-half miles the General Logan mine
is located, the property of Messrs. House,
Morris, Hip and others. There is q tunnel
70 feet long and shaft &c feet deep on the
claim which exposes ore assaying 81 per ton
Day, the property OF Messfs House, Morris
and others. There is q tunnel on this mine
l20 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.
