| the incline has left the ore the ledge con-
tinues to the bottom Of the smart put Is I NOT
from this shaft assayed $27 in gold to the
ton. The ore Is the same in character as
the Gold Hill, does not show as much gold IN
banning, but is remarkably regular in as
crops out at several points on the mine:
There are a number of other locations
upon Gold Hill. The principal ones are the
City of New York, owned by Messrs. Osti-
gard. Moore and Weber They have shaft
20 feet deep, drift has been, run 30 feet
from the bottom of the shaft which is all in
ore assaying 81 per ton in gold.
The Hickory, lying north of the He'll IN
the Hill, belonging to Capt. Harmon and
Capt. Carpenter, has shaft 30 feet deep in
ore.
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
lions, owned by D. C. Mcdonald. Jas. P. Nc
Omie, j. B. Simpson and others. There is a
shaft on this mine 80 feet deep which taps
a strong ledge six feet wide of ore assay1ng
$18 in gold. A small streak OF ore in the
ledge assays $3.50 in gold and 81 per cent.
East of the Midnight q 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-
ply silver carrying but little gold.
Journeying to the northwest the ledge
makes a turn more to the south. There are
locations most of the way upon which some
prospecting has been done which all show
gold. At 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 30 per
cent. lead, 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 in character from
the mines already described, some of them
carrying copper in large quantities. The
principal mines of this vicinity are the
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 In the
vicinity shows q vein two feet wide at q
depth of 81 feet, which assays so per cent.
| lead, IL 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 Monmouth, Monitor, Star and Star of
the West, all carrying copper and ores
worked for that metal. The ore was re-
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
tic prospected and is owned by Williamson
d Simpson.
Wedge, owned by Messrs. Thompson d
Weber, which is also but little prospected
There is some ore upon it that shows gold.
North Of the Golden Wedge is the Thor,
oughbred, belonging to VIM Watson and
exposes good ore.
Adjoining the Joana on the north and
east is the
Group, the property of d. 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
shaft 81 feet deep, they drifted north Is
feet and sunk again at the end of the drift
IS feet, making total depth of 142 feet
The bottom of the shaft is at the foot wall
of the ledge. They then crosscut 80 feet
reaching the hanging wall, showing the
ledge in the bottom to be 80 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
a 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 Is feet deep in which there is
eight feet of ore that assays $5 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 lis feet cutting
ledge, and one 80 feet which has not yet
reached the ledge. The ore assays 1915 per
ton and carries some copper.
Upon the east extension of the Golden
Fleece Is the Lone Star, the property of
Messrs. Hayes d Berry, on which there is a
shaft Is feet deep in ore.
JOurneying along the ledge to the east
number OF locations are passed which are
but little prospected At a distance of one
and ne-half miles the General Logan mine
is located, the property of Messrs. House,
Morris. Hip and others. There is tunnel
rs feet long and shaft sc 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
100 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
one mile west of the town of Ely.
