The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1894-12-08

About 100 tons of this ore is extracted and
upon the dump at the mine. Some esti-
mates show 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 McOmie. These
mines have shafts and open cuts upon
them the greatest depth attained being IS
feet. The Rip Van Wrinkle ore carries gold
and silver about equal. Tho Edna ore as
says from SIS to $50 in free gold.
South OF the Union aau Vi 4, is the Cloud
and the Gold Bug. The latter is owned by
Messrs. Weber and Ostergard, in which
que body of $40 ore is found.
West Of the Ohio is the Great Western the
property of Messrs. Hip, Wren and others.
The works aggregate 400 feet and some
good ore is exposed.
West of the Great Western lies the Com
modore, issacs, Hicks, Eliza, Bullion and
Kinley 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 and lead.
Crossing Robinson canyon again to the
south are number of mines located upon
high mountain lying between Robinson
canyon and d large canyon coming into
Robinson canyon from the south, known as
the canyon leading to White River. Here
are 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-
longing to John Farrell. There has been .
large amount of work done upon this
mountain and several shipments of ore
have been extracted. The ore is silver gold
and lead.
West from this mountain about two miles
distant is the property of Messrs. Jackson
and Kind of Eureka, known as the Key
Stone, from which large quantity of ore
has been extracted and reduced. A num-
Der of shipments were sent to the Eureka
furnaces for treatment which yielded about
two hund ed dollars per ton in silver
There was also lot of this ore reduced g.
the Monitor mill, Steptoe creek, and an
oth9r lot was reduced at the chairman mill
Afterward the parties owning the property
erected 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
emit 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 a 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 up the canyon to point
above the Joanna mine, which is located as
placer ground. The property is worked
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 slu1ce box, which method is used
by the Company in the spring of the year,
when there is surface water running down
the canyon. Several runs have been made
in this way. The Company is now arrang-
ing to put in dry separators, when they e9
pect the property will be made pay.
The Maud s. placer claim adjoins the
property last described, and extends up the
canyon and includes twenty acres within
its boundaries. 1t is owned by j f. vii
Hanson and in all respects is like the prop
erty of the Robinson Canyon Consolidated
Placer Mining Company.
1t will be seen from the above description
that the mineral belt extends from the May
Day mine on the southeast end to the
mines at West Camp on the north west end,
covering distance of about eight miles in
length. The width of the belt varies some.
At places it is fully mile vice, aud at 10
place is it less THAN a 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 arti-
Gle. However sufficient number has
been, to give the reader general idea of
its magnitude.
Nature has done her part for the success
Of the camp The ore is very soft, most of
it can be mined without blasting, thereby
Gus spriugs in the district that can be used
at the mines. and at the town OF Ely there
is large stream Of pure water that is not
erected by frost or by hot aud dry seasons.
The hills are covered with all abundance of
timber, suitable for m lining and fuel Good
wagon roads are built to all portions of the
district, and all the mines are easy of ac-
cess. All that is required for Il live nd
booming camp is money, and he who in
vests will reap the reward.
