from this shaft asSayed $27 in gold to tie
ton The ore is the same in character as
the Gold Hill, does not show as much gold in
panning, but is remarkably regular in as
saying. The ledge is very prominent and
crops out at several points on the mine:
There are number OF other locations
upon Gold Hill The principal ones are the
City of New York, owned by Messrs. Osti-
Pard, Moore and Weber. They have shaft
70 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, living north of the Hell in
the Hill, belong n Z to Capt. Harmon and
Capt. Carpenter, mas a shaft 80 feet deep in
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
tions, owned by d. c. Mcdonald. Jas. P. 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
SIS in gold. a small streak of ore in the
ledge assays $3.50 in gold and 67 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 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 80 per
cent. lead, 3 ounces silver and - 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 il different i'll 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 a
shaft and open cut. Ores taken from these
workings and shipped for reduction as
sayed 500 in silver and II per cent lead.
The hitter claim (Boss) has u deep shaft out
has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine ia the
Vicinity 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 Emma, carrying gold, silver and lead:
the Yarmouth, 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
and gave good results.
West Camp is at the extreme northwest
end of the mineral bell and upon the sum-
nit OF the range.

There is some ore upon it thai shows gold.
North of the Goldea Wedge is the Thor
