About $50 tons of this ore is extracted and
upon the dump at the mine. Some esti-
mates show thousand tons in sight.
Passing along the ledge to the west nu-
merous locations are seen. The Blackstone5
Ohio and Union, carrying gold, silver and
lead, are the property of Governor McKin-
ley and others. All have work upon them
and expose considerable ore.
North of the last named mines are the
Rip Van Wrinkle and Edna, owned by
Messrs. Simpson, Lyons and MeOmie These
mines have shafts and open cuts upon
them, the greatest depth attained being 25
and silver about equal. The Edna ore as
says from So to $50 in free gold.
South of the Union and Ohio is the Cloud
and the Gold Bug. The latter is owned by
Messrs. Weber aud Disregard, in which
que body OF $40 ore is found
West of the Ohio is the Great Western the
property of Messrs. Hip, Wren and Others
The works aggregate 400 feet and some
good ore is exposed.
West of the Great Western lies me Com
modore, Issacs, Hicks, Eliza, Bullion and
Springville, the property OF GoTarno Nc.
Kinley and others. These mine were all
worked in early days and produce most of
the bullion at that time. The ore was sill
YER, gold and lead.
Crossing Robinson canyon in to the
south are Il number of mines logs ted upon
high mountain lying between Robinson
canyon and large canyon coming into
Robinson canyon from the south, known as
the canyon leading to White RIVER. Here
are found the Hidden Treasure hetonging

Sheba and Chief, belonging to Messrs. Hip,
Wren and others, and some l02a, IONS be-
LONGING 10 John Farrell There has been
large amount OF work done up0n this
mountain and several shipments Of ore
have been extracted. The ore is silver gold
an0 lead.
West IRON this mountain about two miles
distant is the properly of Messrs. Jackson
aud Kind of Eureka, known as the Key
Stone, from which u large quantity Of ore
has been extracted ana reduced ) NUM-
Der OF shipments were sent to the Eureka
furnaces Tor treatment which yielded about
two hund ed dollars per toH In silver
There was also a lot OF this ore reduced u
the Monitor MILL Steptoe creek, and an
otn9r lot was reduced at the Chairman mill
AfterWard the parties owning the property
erected Il mill at the mine and reduced
some OF the ore. The process they employed
was the llxlVatiOn process to which the ore
readily yielded. The mine is still In good
condition to produce. Owing to She pres
ent low price of silver the owners deem it
best to await change.
In addition to the lode claims there are
within the limits OF the District
PLACER MINES
About one-fourth OF q mile from the town
OF Ely in the mouth of Robinson canyon!
The Robinson Canyon Consolidated Mining
COMPANY mas located, about 10000 feet of
ground extending up the canyon to ~ point
above the Joanna mine, which is located as
placer ground. The property is worked
through shafts-six i'll 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-
ing to put in dry sep4ratOrs, when they ex
pect the properly viii be made pay
The Maud S. placer claim adjoins the
property last described, and extends up the
canyon and includes twenty acres within
its boundaries. Is il owned by j b. VIII

1t VIII be seen IRAN the above description
that the mineral belt extends from the Nay
Day mine on the southeast end to the
mines at West Camp on the north west end,
covering 81 distance OF about eight miles in
length The WiGtii OF the peit qar,..s slme.
1t places it is f,tllg mic vice, AGd at no

can be found on all portions Of the belt.
There are many locations IN the district
t2at have not been mentioned In ibis arti-
Gle. However a sufficient number has
been, TO Give She reader d general idea OF
its magnitude.
Nature has done her pa1c for tho success
OF the camp. The ore is very soft, most of
it can be mined without blasting Chereby
saving great expense. There are runner

The hills are covered Win an abundance o{
timber, suitable for mining and fuel. GOOD
wagon roads are built t. IL portions Of the
district, and all the miueS are easy Of ecS
