ton. The ore is the same in character as
the Gold Hill, does not show as much gold in
manning but is remarkably regular in as
saying. The ledge rs very prominent and
crops out at several points on the mine:
There ara number Of other locations
upou Gold Hill. The principal ones are the
CITY of New York, owned by Messrs. OSti-
gard. Moore aud Weber They have a shaft
70 feet deep, a DRIFT has been run 50 feet
from the bottom OF the shaft which Is all III
ore assaying 81 per ton in gold.
The Hickory, lying north of the He'll in
the Hill, belonging to Capt. Harmon aud
Capt. Carpenter, has shaft 30 feet deep in
ore
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
tons, owned by D. c. Mcdonald Jas. p Nc
Omie, J. b. Simpson and others. There is
shaft on this mine SO feet deep which taps
a strong ledge six feet wide of ore assaylng
SIS in gold small streak of ore in the
ledge assays $3.50 in gold and 81 per cent
lead.
East OF the Midnight 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 pr1nc1-
ply silver carrying but little gold.
Journeying to the northwest the ledge
makes a turn more to the south. 3here 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, 3 ounces silver and s. i'll gold.
The ledge is three feet wide alta 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
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 aud AZ per cent. lead.
The latter claim (Boss) has deep shaft out
of which some nigh grade silyer-lead ore
| has been extracted.
TIL, Ragsdale and Rockhill mine i i the
icinity shows vein two feet wide at
| depth OF 81 feet, which assays 80 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 Monmouth, Monitor, Star and Star of
| the West, all carrying copper and ores
worked for that metal. The ore was re-
| duced at local copper smelling furnace
West Camp is at the extreme northwest
| end Of the mineral bel: 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. Rockhil1
and the RaPsdale estate. The work con
sists of two tunnels and shaft The ore
assays 80 ounce silver and $40 gol6.
| South of the Golden Fleece and east of the
| 10 tlNnrn iS l,aG Cot IotIt
| tie prospected and is owned by Williamson
| d Simpson.
North OF the Golden Fleece is the Golden
| Wedge, owned by Messrs Thompson 4
| Weber, which is also but little prospecte0.
/ There is some ore upon it that shows gold.
North Of the Golden Wedee is the Thor
ough 1red 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 tile
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 %
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 in The bottom to be 80 feet wide.
There is also an open fssure that exposes
the lede latterly for one hundred and fifty
! feet. The ore in these workings assay from
81 to Sl3 per ton in gold. Two hundred feet
to the north of the shaft just described
there is another shaft in the croppings OF
| the ledge % ieet deep in which there is
eight feet of ore that assays So 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
the ledge; one is Is feet long cutting the
| ledge, and one 30 feet which has not yet
reached the ledge. The ore assays S.. rs per
ton and carries some copper.
Upon the east extension. of the Golden
Fleece is the Lone Star, the property of
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 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 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 a tunnel on this mine
! 120 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.
One mile up Robinson canyon from the
| town OF Ely and upon the north side of the
canyon is MagFie hill from which point the
description of the north ledge will be taken
