ley. and others. All have work upon them
and expose considerable ore.
North of the last named mines are thu
Rip Van Wrinkle and Edna, owned by
MesSrs Simpson, Lyons and McOmie Thess
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. The Edna ore a.
says from 50 to $50 in free gold.
South of the Union and Ohio is the Cloud
and the Gold Bug. The latter is owned nv
MessrS. Weber and Ostergard, in which
qu.e body of $40 ore is found.
f.. West OF the Ohio is the Great Western tho
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
Kinley Gnd others. These mines were al
worked in early days and produced most OF
the bullion at that time. The ore yaa 4il-
yer, gold and lead.
Crossing Robinson canyon again 70 the
south are number of mines located upon
a hign mountain lying between Robinson
canyon and large canyon COMING in5o
Robinson canyon from the south, known as
the canyon leading to White River. Here
are found the Hidden Treasure, belonging
to Mcdonald and Cupid; tie Ontario, Pojy 8
Sheba and Chief, belonging to Messrs III ~
Wren and Others, and some locations beg
longing to John Farrell. There has been
large amount of work done upon thiE
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
O. Il yT1d Of tn ihn
Stone, from which large quantity of ore
has Demonstrated 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 a lot of this ore reduced
the Monitor mill, Steptoe creek, and an
other lot was reduced at the chairman mill
Afterward the parties owning the property
erected a 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 o change.
I In addition to the lode claims there arc

PAGER MINES
About One-fOurth of mile from the town
| of Sly 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
| 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
| geld. 1t is coarse and easily saved in an
| ordinary siuice 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 tdey eI.

| The Maud s. placer claim adioins the
property lESt described, and extends III the
canyon and includes twenty acres NithiA
( its boundaries. 1t is owned by = R. WN
| Hanson and in all respects is like tne 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 en1 10 the
mines at West Camp on the north cad,
covering distance of about eight miles IN
length. The width of the belt yarieo come.
At places it is fully & mile wide, and at no
place is it less than 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 tnis artl-
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
savings great expense. There Sre nur,er-
Gus springs in the district that can be used
at the miacs, and at the town OF Ely there
is large streHm Of pure water that Is not
Effected by frost or ny hot esnti <sry seasons
The hills are covered with an abundance of
timber, suitable for mining and i.lel. Good
WaYou roads are buil5 to oil portions CT the
district, and all the mines are easy CT &C
cess. All that is required for liye aud
booming camp is money, end he who in
vests viii reap The reward.
