West of the Ohio is the Great Western tbs
property OF MessrS. Hip, Wren and others =
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.
Kinley and others. These mines were all
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
d high mountain lying between Robinson
canyon and a large canyon coming into
the canyon leading to White River. Here
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-
| longing to John Farrell There has been a
| large amount of work done upon this
| mountain and several shipments of ore
have been extracted. The ore is silyer,gol
| 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. num-
| Der of shipments were sent to the Eureka.
| furnaces for treatment which yielded about
| two hund ed dollars per ton in silver
There was also a lot of this ore reduced
! the Monitor mill, Steptoe creek, and an
| othor lot was reduced at the Chairman mill
| Afterward the parties owning the property
erected a mill at the mine and reduced
some of the ore: The process they employed
! was the liXiyatiOn process to which the ore
readily yielded. The mine is still in good
| condition to produce. Owing to the pres
ent low price of silver the owners deem it
| best to await a change.
In addition to the lode claims there are
| within the limits of the District
| PLACER MINES
| About one-fourth of a 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 a point
| above the Joanna mine, which is located as
| 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. 1t is coarse and easily saved in an
| ordinary sluice box, which method is used
| by the Company in the spring OF the year;
| when there is surface water running down
| the canyon. Several runs have been made
in this way. The Company is now arrang-
TO Il ffNnTC EaAFt
| pect the property will be made pay.
| The Maud S. placer claim adjoins the
| property last described, and extends up the
canyon aud. includes twenty acres within
| its boundaries. 1t is owned by j. B. Will
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 OH the southeast end to the
mines at West Camp on the northwest end,
| covering distance OF about eight miles in
| length. The width of the belt varies some.
| AT places it is fully q mile WIDE and at no
| place is it 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 arti-
| Gle. However a sufficient number has.
| been, to give the reader general idea OF
| its magnitude
Nature has done her part for the success
| of the camp. The ore is very SOFT most of
| it can be mined without blasting, thereby
| saving great expense. There are numer-.
Gus springs in the district that can be used
at the Mines and at the town of Ely there
| is large stream of pure water that is not
| effected by frost or by hot and dry seasons:
| The hills are covered with an abundance OF
timber, suitable for mining and fuel Good
| wagon roads are built to all portions OF the
| district, and all the mines are easy of ac-
cess All that is required for live and
booming camp is money, and he who in
vests viii reap the reward
