About $50 tons of this ore IL extracted ana
upon the dump at the mine. Some ssti-
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 7McKin-
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 equal. The Edna ore 49,
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
que a body of so ore Is found.
West of the Ohio is the Great Western the
property of Messrs. Hip, Wren and othexs.
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,
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 the
south are a number of mines located upon
high mountain lying between Robinson
canyon and large canyon coming into
Robinson canyon from the south, known -
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-
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
distant is the property of Messrs. Jackson
and Kind of Eureka, known as the Key
Stone, from which large quantity of ore
has been extracted and reduced. A num-
Der of shipments were sent to the Eureka
furnaces for treatment which yielded shout
two hund ed dollars per ton in silver.
There was also a lot of this ore reduced 1T
the Monitor mill, Steptoe creek, and an
other lot was reduced at the Chairman mill.
Afterward the parties owning the property
erected mill at the mine and reduced
was the lixivation process to which the ore
readily yielded. The mine Is still in good
condition to produce. Owing to the pres

In addition to the lode claims there are
within the limits OF the District
PLACER MINES
About one-fOurth of q mile from the town
of Ely in the mouth of Robinson canyon.
The Robinson Canyon Consolidated Mining
Company has located about 10000 feet OF
ground extending up the canyon to point
above the Joanna mine, which IL located ~
placer ground. The property is worked
through shafts--six in number. The bed
rock is found at an average depth OF sew
enty feet. On the bed rock from two to
eight feet of gravel is found which carries
gold. It is coarse and easily saved in an
ordinary sluice box, which method is used
by the Company in the spring OF the yeaT.
when there is surface water running down
the canyon. Several runs have been made
ing to put in dry separators, when they eF-
pect the property will be made pay.
The Maud s. placer claim adjoins the
property last described, and extends up the
its boundaries. It is owned BY J. B. viii
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 the
| mines at West Camp on the northwest end,
covering distance of about eight miles III
length. The width of the belt varies some
At places it is fully mile wide, and ct no
place is 1t less than half mile Mineral
can be found on all portions of the belt.
There are many locations in the district
that have not been mentioned in this ert1-
Gle. However a sufficient number has
been, to give the reader q general idea OF
its magnitude.
