North of the Gold Hill mine some dis

East OF the Midnight short distance is
the October location, the property OF
MeSsrs. Simpson and RynearSon. Inc mine
was worked in the early days OF Robinson
at which time deep shaft was sunk ana
some ore was extracted which was princi-
ply silver carrying but little gold.
Journeying to the northwest the ledFe
makes turn more to the south. There are
locations most OF the way upon which some
prospecting has been done which all show
gold. Al a distance OF about two miles the
Magma Charter is reached, the property o.
Thos. RO2khill 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, ounces silver aud - IN gold.
The ledPe 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 ia 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
shaft and open cut. Ores taken from these
WORKINGS and shipped for reduction as
saved $50 in silver and AZ per cent. lead
The latter claim (Boss) has deep shaft out
of which some high grade silyer-lead ore
has been extracted.
Tn, Ragsdale and Rockhill mine in the
icinity shows vein two feet wide at a
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 local copper smelling furnace
and gave good results.
West Camp is at the extreme northwest
end of the mineral bell 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. II is the properly OF Thos. Rockhill
and the RagSdale estate. The. work con-
ssts OF two tunnels and shaft. The ore
assays 10 ounce silver and $40 golG.
South of the l,U,len Fleece anti east of the
Southern Cross, is the Golden West, Tut lit

u Simpson.
North of the Golden Fleece is the Golden
Wedge, owned Dy Messrs Thompson ~
Weber, which IS also but little paospected,
There is some ore upon ii tnat shows gold
North of the Golden Weage is the Thor

Adjoining the Joanna on the north and

tunnels, one of which is ll5 Meet cutting
the ledge; one is 60 feet long quitting the
ledge, and one 30 feet which haas not YET
reached the ledge. The ore assaysE$S.7o per
ton and carries some copper.
Upon the east extension of the &olden
Fleece is the Lone Star, the PROPERLY. OF
Messrs. Hayes u Berry, on which thereA is
shaft ID feet deep in ore.
Journeying along the ledge to the easR q
number of locations are passed which ans
but little prospeCted. At n distance of onG
and one-half miles the General Logan mine
IS located, tho property Of Messrs. House,
Morris, Hip and others. There is a tunnel
10 feet long and shaft g 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 " tunnel on this mine
l20 feet long and an incline in the tunnel 70
feet deep in ore TINT 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 canyoa from the
canyon is Maggie hill from which point the
