and expose considerable ore.
North Of the last named mines are the

Crossing Robinson canyon again to the
south are number of mines located upon
a high mountain lying between Robinson
canyon and a large canyon coming into
Robinson canyon from the south, known as
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,

mountain and several shipments of ore
have been extracted. The ore is silver gold
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 u 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

some of the ore. The process they employed
was the llxlyation process to which the ore

condition to produce. Owing to the pres

There are many locations in the district

its magnitude.
Nature has done her part for the success
of the camp. The ore is very soft, most OF

saving great expense. There are numer-

at the mines, and at the town of Ely there
is large stream Of pure water that is NOT
