lead, are the property Of Governor McKin-
ley and others. All have work upon them
and expose considerable ore.

Crossing Robinson canyon a@ain to tho

a high mountain lying between Robinson
canyon and large canyon coming into
Robinson canTon from the south, known as
the canyon leading TO White River. Here

There was also lot of this ore reduced
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 lixiYation 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 d change.
In addition to the lode claims there are

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 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 az
ordinary sluice box, which ,nethod is used
by the Company in the spring Of the wear,
when there is surface water running down
the canyon. Several runs have been made
in this way. The Company is now Nrrang-
a.,
pect the property will be made paw.
The Maud S. placer claim adjoins he
property last described, and extends up the
canyon and includes twenty acres Within
its boundaries 1t is owned by j. Is. VIII
Hanson and in all respects i, like ne pros.

1t will be seen from the above description
that the mineral belt extends FROM 5ne May
Day mine on the southeast end to ne
mines at West Camp on the north-Mest end,
covering distance OF shout eighG miles in
length The width Of the belt varies some.
At places it is fully u mile wide, and nj no
place is it less than half mile. Mineral
can be found on all portions of the Eelt.
There are many locations in the district
that nave not been mentioned in lis arti~
Gle. However q sufficient number has
been, to give the reader Il general idea Of
its magnitude.
Nature has done her part for the success
of the camp. The ore is Yer soft, most OF
it can be mined without blasting. thereby
