the same grade. Fifty tons of ore taken
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 m uch gold III
panniug, but is remarkably regular in as,
saying. The ledge is very prominent and
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.
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
tons, owned by d. C. Mcdonald JAS 2. Nc
Omie, j. B. Simpson and others. There Is
shaft on this mine 80 feet deep which taps
a strong ledge six feet wide of ore assaying
$l8 in gold A small streak of ore in the
ledge assays $3.50 in gold and 81 per cent
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 prlnei-
ply silver carrying but little gold.
Journeying to the northwest the ledge
makes turn more to the south. There are
locations most of the way upon which some
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 30 per
| cent. lead 3 ounces silver and 81 in gold:
The ledge is three feet wide at a 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 III 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
sayed $50 in silver and AZ per cent. lead.
The latter claim (Boss) has deep shaft out
of which some high grade silyer-lead ore
has been extracted
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine il the
Licinity, shows vein two feet wide at a
depth of 81 feet. which assays 50 per cent.
lead, Is ounces silver and 500 gold.
MessTs. 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-
duced at a local copper smelling furnace
and gave good results.
West Camp is at the extreme northwest
end of the mineral bell 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
ssts OF two tunnels and q shaft. The ore
ASSAYS 80 ounce silver and $40 cole
South of the Golden Fleece and east Of the
Southern Cross, is the Golden West, but lit
tie prospected and is owned by Williamson
North OF the Golden Fleece is the Golden
Wedge, owned by Messrs Thorn pson d
Weber, which is also but little prospected.
There is some ore upon il that SHOWS gold.
North of the Golden Wedge is the Thor
ouPhbred, belonging to VIM. Watson and
others. 1t has shaft fifty feet deep which
exposes good ore.
Adjoining the Joanna on the north and
east is the
FLORIDA
Group, the property OF d. c. Mcdonald and
John T. Cupid. The. group. includes the
Florida, DAuntleS9 ana Quadrant, which
extends across Robinson canyon 10 the
north. Upon the Florida in the ~ iddle OF
The Robinson canyon, the owners have sunk
q shaft 81 feet deep, they drifted north Is
feet and sunk again at the end of the drift
% feet maxine total depth of l42 feet.
The bottom Of the shaft is at the foot wall
of the ledge. They then crosscut 30 feet
reaching the HANGING wall, showing the
ledge III the bottom TO be 80 feet wide.
There is also an open assure that exposes
the ledpe 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 % ieet deep in which there is
eight feet of ore that assays s. per ton in
gold. The LEDGE is traced through the full
