the same grade. Fifty tons of ore taken
from this shaft assayed $27 in gold to the
ton. The ore is the same in character as
the Gold Hill, does not show as much gold in
banning, but is remarkably regular in as
saving. 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. Ostl-
gard Moore and Weber. They have shaft
20 feet deep, 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, lying north of the He'll in
the Hill, belonging to Capt Harmon and
Capt. Carpenter, has shalt 30 feet deep In
ore.
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
tions, owned by D. C. Mcdonald. Jas. P. Nc
shaft on this mine 90 feet deep which taps
a strong ledge six feet wide of ore assaying
SIS in gold. small streak of ore in the
ledge assays $3.50 in gold and 81 per cent
lead.
East of the Midnight a 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 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 orey0i the ne-th ~lestgse, 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 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 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 a
shaft and open cut. Ores taken from these
workings and shipped for reduction as
sayed $50 in silver and AZ per cent. lead.
The latter claim (Boss) has deep shaft out
of which some high grade Silver-lead ore
has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine in the
vicinity shows vein two feet wide at q
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
worked for that metal. The ore was re-
duced at a 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 tie 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 shaft. The ore
assays 30 ounces silver and $40 gole.
South of the Golden Fleece and east of the
Southern Cross, is the Golden West, but lit
tie prospected and is owned by Williamson
q 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. G. 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
ash shaft g feet deep they drif rift north 2
So feet, making a total depth of 142 feet.
The bottom of the shaft is at the foot wall
of the ledge. They then crosscut 30 feet
reaching the hanging wall, showing the
ledge in the bottom to be 30 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 to $13 per ton in gold. Two hundred feet
to the north of the shaft just described
G a ch a n NiY1crc of
the ledge 25 feet deep in which there is
eight feet of ore that assays S. per ton in
gold. The ledge 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 6S feet long cutting the
ledge, and one 80 feet which has not yet
reached the ledge. The ore assays 1875 per
ton and carries some copper.
Upon the east extension of the Golden
Fleece is the Lone STAR the property. of
Messrs. Hayes & Berry, on which there is a
shaft Is feet deep in ore.
Journeying along the ledge to the east a
number of locations are passed which are
but little prospected. At distance of one
and one-half miles the General LOGAN mine
is located, the property of Messrs. House,
Morris. Hip and others. There is a tunnel
rs feet long and a shaft Sc 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
100 feet long and an incline in the tunnel 90
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.
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
up. The principal mines on this hill are
