| ABOUT $50 tons of this ore is extracted and
upon the dump at the mine Some eEti
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 aud McOmie These
mines have shafts and open cuts upon
them, the greatest depth attained being 25
feet. The Rip Van Wrinkle ore carries gold
ana silver about equal. The Edna ore as
says from % To $50 in free gold.
south ofthe Union and Ohio is the Cloud
and the Gold Bug. The latter is owned by
Messrs. Weber and Ostergard, in which
qute BODY OF SO 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 same
good ore is eX posed.
West of the Great Western lies the COM
modore, Issacs, Hicks, Eliza, Bullion and
SPrlngyille, the property of Governor Nc
klnley and others. These mines were all
worked in early days and produced ost of
the bullion ut that time. Tie ore was sill
yer, gold and lead.
Crossing Robinson canyon again to the
south are number of mines located up9n
high m' ultain lying between Rol ms IN
canyon and d large can ION coming into
Robinson can. on from the south, known as
the canyon leaulng TO White River. Here
are Iouud the Hidden Treasure, belonging
to McDonald and Cupid; the Ontario Point,
Sheba aud Chief, belonging to Messrs Hip.
Wren and others, and some locations be-
longing to john Farrell. There has been a
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 E'nrpka known a. tho Kew
Stone, from which large quantity of ore
has been extracted and reduced. 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
the Monitor mill, Steptoe creek and an
othar 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
ent 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 mile from the town
of Ely in the mouth of Robinson canyon.
The Robinson Canyon Consolidated Mining
Company has located about 10000 1eet Of
ground extending up the canyon to a point
above the Joanna mine, which is located as
placer ground. The property il 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
sold. 1t is coarse and easily saved n an
ordinary slulce 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 ex,
| pect the property win be made pay.
The Maud s. placer claim adjoiDs the
property list described, and eXtenGa up the
canyon ana includes twenty acres " thin
its Boundaries. 1t is owned by j 9. Will
| hanson and in all respects is like the crop
| erty OF the Robinson Canyon Consolidated
| Placer Mining Company.
1t viii be seen from the above description
| that the mineral belt extends from u May
Day mine on the southeast end to he
mines at West Camp on the nOrth-Wes end,
covering distance OF about eight miles in
leogth The width Of the belt varies some.
AT plac il is fully mile wide, and at no
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 ,is 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
saving great expense. There are numer-
Gus springs 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
effected by frost or by hot and dry SESSIONS.
The hills are covered with al abundance OF
timber, suitable for mining ana fuel Coed
wagon roads are built to all portions OF tue
district, and all the mines ave easy III s =
