ABOUT $50 tons Of this ore is extracted Ina
upon the dump at the mine. Some 4stf4
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 equ Il. The Edna ore a.
says from 50 to $50 in free gold.
South of the Union and Ohio is the CIOafd
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 thu
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
springville, the property of Governor NC
klnley 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 large canyon coming into
II.
the canyon leading to White River Hare
are found the Hidden Treasure belonging
to Mcdonald and Cupid; the Ontario PoinS,
Sheba and Chief, belonging to Messrs1 Hip,
Wren and others, and some locatic N be-
longing to John Farrell. There haf IN q
large amount of work done upt thig
mountain and several shipments VI ore
nave 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 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 Il lot of this ore red uced
the Monitor mill, Steptoe creek and an
other lotWas reduced at the chairman mill
AtterWard 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 deemi
best to await change.
In addition to the lode claims there are
within the limits of the District
PLACER MINES
About 0ne-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 O.
ground extending up the canyon to poin
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 sluice box, which method is used
by the Company in the spring of the year,
when there rs surface water running down
the canyon. Several runs have been made
in this way. The Company is now arrang-
ing to. put in dry sepayators, when they ex.
pect the property viii be made pay
The Maud S. placer claim adjoins the 4
property last described, and extends 10 tn
canyon and includes twenty acres With
its boundaries. 1t is owned byJ b. Wi
Hanson and in all respects is like the
elty OF the Robinson Canyon Consolid
Placer Mining Company.
1t Will be seen from the above descriptY
that the mineral belt extends from the Nj
Day mine on the southeast eud to TIL
mines at West Camp on the north west end
covering disteuce OF about eisi6 miles irlV
length. The width of the belt Yarie. some.
AT places it is fully mile wide, and at no
place IL it less than half mile Mineral
III be found on all portions of tia belt
There are many locations in the district
that have not been mentioned in this arti-
Gle. However n sufficient number has
been, to give the reader a general idea or
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 numer1
Gus springs in le district that can be used
at the mines. and at the town of Ely ehcr1
Is large stream OF pare Water that 10 not
effected by frost or by hot and dry se&A0n.
The hills are covered with an abundance OF
timber, suitable for mining and fuel Good
wagon roads are built TO all portions of the
district, aud all the mines are easy OF ac-V
cess. All that is required for live and
booming camp 1s money, and he WAC in
vests will reap the reward.
