North of the Gold Hill mine some dis
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
lions, owned by D. C. Mcdonald. JAS Z. Nc
Omie, J. B. Simpson and others. There Is q
shaft on this mine 80 feet deep which taps
a strong ledge six feet wide OF ore assaylng

lead.
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 prlncl-
ply silver carrying but little gold.
Journeying to the northwest the ledge
makes turn more to the south. There are
prospecting has been done which all show
gold At a 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 ~ per
cent. lead, 3 ounces silver and 81 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
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
The latter claim (Boss) has deep shaft out
of which some high grade silver-lead ore
has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine il the
vicinity shows vein two feet wide at
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 West, all carrying copper and ores
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 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 Il
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 a shaft fifty feet deep which
exposes good ore
Adjoining the Joanna on the north and
east is the
Group, the property oftD. 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
feet and sunk again at the end of the drift
So feet, making total depth of 142 feet
The bottom of the shaft is at the foot wall
of thesledge. 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 fissure that exposes
the ledge latterly for one hundred and fifty
feet. The ore in these workings assay from
81 to $l3 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 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 lbs feet cutting
the ledge, one is IS feet long cutting the
ledge, and one 80 feet which has not vet
reached the ledge. The ore assays IS. 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
shaft 10 feet deep in ore
Journeying along the ledge to the east
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 tunnel
70 feet long. and a shaft &c 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 20
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 about
one mile west of the town of Ely.
