East of the Midnight a short distance is
the October location, the property OF
Messrs. Simpson and Rynearson: the mine
at which time deep shaft was sunk ana
some ore was extracted which was prlncl-
ply silver carrying but little gold
journeying to the northwest the ledge
makes Il turn more to the soutn. lhere are
locations most OF the way upon which some
prospecting has been done when al snow
cold, At a distance of about two miles the
Magma Charter is, reached, X property OF OF
rhos. 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 y 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 here is different i'll character from
the mines already described, some OF them
carrying copper in large quantities. Inc
| 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 d
| shaft and omen cut. Ores taken from these
workings aud shipped for reduction as
sayed $50 in silver aud AZ per cent. lead.
The latter claim (Boss) has deep shaft out
of which some nigh grade silyer-lead ore
| has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine IN the
vicinity shows vein two feet wide at a
depth of 81 feet which assays 80 per cent.
lead, IL ounces silver and 500 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
dueed at d 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 80 ounces silver and $40 golc.
South of the Golden Fleece and east Of the
Southern Cross, is the Golden West but lit
tie prospeeted and is owned by Williamson
q Simpson.
North of the Golden Fleece is the Golden
| Wedge, owned by Messrs. Thompson u
Weber, which is also but little ,prospected.
I There is some ore upon it that shows gold.
North Of the Golden Wedge is the Thor
! opPhbred, belonging to Vim. Watson ana
others. 1t has a shaft fifty feet deep which
exposes good ore.
Adjoining the Joanna on the north and
east is the
FLORIDA
Group, the property OF ID. 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
II shaft 81 feet deep, they drifted north 25
feet and sunk again at the end of the drift
50 feet, making total depth OF 40 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 80 feet wide.
There is also an open fissure that exposes
the ledge latterly for one hundred and fifty
| feet. The ore in these workings assay from
| 81 to Sl3 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 % Ieet deep in which there is
eight feet of ore that ASSAYS So 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 l15 feet cutting
the ledge; one is 6o feet long cutting the
ledge, and one 30 feet which has not yet
reached the ledge. The ore assays S.. rs per
ton and carries some copper.
Upon the east extension of the Golden
Fleece is the Lone STAR the property of
MesSrs. Hayes q Berry, on which there is
shaft Is feet deep in ore.
Journeying along the ledge to the east
but little prOspeoted. At a distance of one
and onchalf miles the General Logan mine
is located, the property OF Messrs House,
Norris, Hip and others. There is a tunnel
IS feet long and a shaft sc feet deep on the
claim which exposes ore assdying 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
| l20 feet long and an incline in the tunnel 20
! feet deep in ore that assays IS 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
