from this shaft assayed $27 in gold to tie
! ton. The ore is the same in character as
| the Gold Hill, does not show as much gold in
panning, but is remarkably regular in as
! saying The ledge is very prominent and
| crops out at several points on the mine.
There are number of other locations
upon Gold Hill. The principal ones are the
City of New York, owned by Messrs. Osti-
gard, Moore and Weber. They have shaft
| 20 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.

Capt. Carpenter, mas a shaft 80 feet deep in
! ore.
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
| lions, owned bv D. C. Mcdonald. Jas. P. Nc
| Omie, j. B. Simpson and others. There is a
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 67 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 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, 3 ounces silver aud 81 in gold.
The ledge is three feet wide at a depth of
40 feet Two miles west of the Magma Char
| ter the
| WEST CAMP
Mines are reached. These mines were

! found here is different i'll 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 and shipped for reduction as
The latter claim (Boss) has deep shaft out
of which some high grade silver-lead ore
has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine Ia the
! vicinity shows q 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 Emma, carrying gold, silver and lead:
the Monmouth, Monitor, Star and Star of
the West, all carrying copper and ores
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

tie prospected and is owned by Williamson
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 1t 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 Joana on the north and
| east is the
Group, the property of d. C. 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
shaft 81 feet deep, they drifted north %
| feet and sunk again at the end of the drift
| IS feet, making total depth of l42 feet.
| The bottom OF the shaft is at the foot wall
| Of the ledge. They then crosscut 80 feet
| reaching the hanging wall, showing the
| ledge i'll the bottom to be so feet wide.
There is also an open tissure that exposes
| the Ledge latterly for one hundred and fifty
| feet. The ore in these workings assay from
| 81 TO $l3 per ton i'll gold. Two hundred feet
! TO the north of the shaft just described
| there is another shaft in the groupings of
| the ledge % ieet deep in which there is
| eight feet of ore that assays S. per ton in
| gold. The ledpe 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 Is feet long cutting the
reached the ledge. The ore assays s.. 70 per
ton and carries some copper
Upon the east extension of the Golden
Fleece is the Lone Star, the property of
MeSsrs. Hayes Il Berry, on which there is q
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 q distance of one
and one-half miles the General Logan mine
Morris, Hip and others. There is u tunnel
| Is feet long and shaft 81 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 a tunnel on this mine
120 feet long and an incline in the tunnel 20
feet deep in ore that assays Sc per ton in
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
description of the north ledge will be taken
