There are number of other locations
upon Gold Hill. The principal ones are the

East of the Midnight a short distance is
the October location, the property of
Messrs Simpson and Rynearson: The mine
was worked in the early days of Robinson
at which time deep shaft was sunk and
some ore was extracted which was princi

Journeying to the northwest the ledge
makes a turn more to the south. There are
locations most of the way upon which some

The bottom of the shaft is at the foot wall
of the ledge. They then crosscut 80 feet
reaching the hanging wall, showing the

There is also an open tissure that exposes
the LEDGE latterly for one hundred and fifty
feet. The ore in these workings assay from
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 25 feet deep in which there is
eight feet of ore that assays So per ton in

length of the Florida aud across the Daunt-
less. Upon the Dauntless there are three
tunnels, one of which is lis feet cutting
the ledge; one is 6S feet long cutting the
ledge, and one 30 feet which has not yet
