About $50 tons of thfs ore is extracted and
upon the dump at the mine. Some esti-
mates show IL thousand tons in sight.
Passing along the ledge to the west nu-
merous locations are seen. The Blackstone
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 aud open cuts upon
them, the greatest depth attained being 25
feet The Rip Van Wrinkle ore carries gold
and silver about equal. The Edna ore as
says from s. TO $50 in free gold.
South oftne Union aud Ohio is the Cloud
qa'e body of $40 ere is found.
West of the Ohio is the Great Western the
property of Messrs Hip, Wren and others.
| The works aggregate 100 feet and some
good ore is exposed.
West of the Great Western lies the Com
modore, Issaes, Hicks, Eliza, Bullion and
Springville, the property OF Governor Me
Kinloy and others. These mines were all
worked in early days and produced most of
the bullion at that time The ore was sill
| yer, gold aud lead.
Crossing Robinson canyon again to the
| south are number Of mites located upon
! high mountain lying between Robinson
| canyon aud large canyon coming into
Robinson canyon from the south, known as
| the
h1e found the Hidden Treasure, belonging
| TO Mcdonald and cupid the Ontario, Point,
| Sheba and Chief, belonging to Messrs. Hip
! Wren and Others, and some locations be-
| longin: 20 John Farrell There has been a
| Large amount Of work done upon this
mountain and several shipments OF ore
hdfe been extracted. The ore is silver, gold
| and lead.
West from this mountain about two miles
distant is the property OF Messrs. Ackson
| and Kind of Eureka, known as tht Key
| Stone, from which Il larPe quantity on ore
| has been extracted and reduced. A mum
| her Of shipments were sent to the Eurt ka
| furnaces for treatment which yielded about
| two hund ed dollars per ton in silye
There was also n lot of this ore reduced q
| the Monitor mill, Steptoe creek, and
other lot was reduced at the Chairman mill
| Afterward the parties owning the property
| erected u mill at the mine and reduced
some of the ore: The process they employed
| was the liXivatiOn process to which the ore
| readily yielded. The mine is still in good
| condition to produce. Owing to the pres
ent low price of silver the owners deem it
| best to await a change.
| In addition to the lode claims there are
| within the limits of the District
| PLACER MINES
| About one-fourth OF mile from the town
| of Ely in the mouth of Robinson canyon.
| The Robinson Canyon Consolidated Mining
| Company has located about 10000 feet of
| ground extending mp the canyon to point
| above the Joanna mine, which is located as
|
| through shafts--six in 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
| he canyon. Several runs have been made
| in this way. The Company is now arrang-
| ing to put in dry separators when they eX
| pect the property viii be made pay.
| The Maud s. placer claim adioins the
| property l,st described, and extends up the:
canyon and includes twenty acres within
! its boundaries. II is owned by j, B. Will
! hanson and in all respects is like the prop
| erty Of the Robinson Canyon Consolidated
| Place. Mining Company.
! Ii viii be seen from the above description
| that tle mineral belt extends from the May
| Day mine or this southeast end to ;he
mines at West Camp on The northwest cad,
| covering distance of ABOUT eight miles in
| length. The width OF the belt varies some.
| At places i: is fully mile wide, and at no
| place is it less than II half mile. Mineral
| can be found on all portions of the belt.
| There are many locations in the district
| that have not been mentioned in this artl~
| Gle. However a sufficient number has
| been, to give the reader a general idea o.
| its magnitude.
Nature has done her part for the success
| OF the camp. The ore is very soft, most O
| il can be mined without BLASTING thereby
| saving q great expense There are uumeI .
Gus springs in the district that can be useH
| at the mines, and at the town Of Ely there
| is a large stream OF pure wafer that il not
| effected by frost or by hot aud dry seasons.
| The hills are covered with an abundance CT
| timber, suitable for MINING and fuel. Good
| WAGON roads are built to all portions Of the
| district, and all the mines are easy Of az
cess. All that is required for live aud
| booming camp is money, and he who in
| vests Will reap the reward.
