ton. The ore is the same in character as
the Gold Hill does not show as mucn golo III
banning, but is remarkably regular IN as
saying The ledge is very prominent ana
crops out at several points on the mine:
There are q number of other loca tons
upon Gold HILL The principal ones are tne
CITY of New York, owned by Messrs. Osti-
gard, Moore and Weber. They have q shaft

from the bottom of the shatC Wnlcn Is Ill III
ore assaying 81 per ton in gold. l.,
The Hickory, lying north OF the Hell IN
the HILL belonging to Capt. Harmon anu
Capt. Carpenter, has shaft 80 feet deep III
ore. - A.
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
tions, owned by D. c. Mcdonald. Jas. T. Nc
Omie, J. B. Simpson and others. There is a
shaft on this mine 80 feet deep Wnlcn taps
a strong ledge six feet wide OF ore assaylng
SIS in gold. A small streak OF ore IN the
ledge ASSAYS $3.50 in gold and 81 per cent.
East of the Midnight 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 pr1ncl-
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 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 ~ 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
able work done On the former there is
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 a
depth of 81 feet, which assays SO per cent.
lead, Is ounces silver and 500 gold
Messrs. Hip, Wren and others own seye-
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
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 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 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 prospected and is owned by Williamson
d Simpson.
North of the Golden Fleece is the Golden
Wedge, owned by Messrs. Thompson d
Weber, which is also but little prospected.
There is some ore upon it that shows gold.
North of the Golden Wedge is the Thor
others. 1t has d shaft fifty feet deep which
exposes good ore.
Adjoining the Joanna 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 Is
feet and sunk again at the end of the drift
So 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 in the bottom to be 30 feet wide.
There is also an open assure that exposes
the ledge latterly for one hundred and fifty
81 to. $13 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 % 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 68 feet long cutting the
ledge, and one 80 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 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
IS feet long. and shaft 80 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 e
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 abo ut
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
