the Gold Hill, does not show as much gold in
banning but is remarkably regular in as
saying. The ledge is very prominent and
crops out at several points on the mine:
There are a number of other locations
upon Gold Hill. The principal ones are the
city of New York, owned by Messrs. Osti-
gard, Moore and Weber. They have a shaft
20 feet deep, drift has been run 30 feet
from the bottom of the shaft which is all in
ore assaying s. per ton in gold.
The Hickory, lying north of the He'll in
the Hill, belonging to Capt. Harmon and
Capt. Carpenter, has shaft 50 feet deep in
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
tions, owned by D. c. Mcdonald. Jas. P. Me-
Omie, J. b. Simpson and others. There Is a
shaft on this mine 80 feet deep which taps
Il strong ledge six feet wide of ore assaying
SIS in gold. small streak Of ore in the
ledge assays $50 in gold and 81 per cent.
lead.
East of the Midnight a short distance is
the October location, the property OF
Messrs. Simpson aud Rynearson. The mine
was worked in the early days OF Robinson
at which time deep shaft was sunk and
some ore was extracted which was princi-
ply silver carrying but little gold.
Journe ying to the northwest the ledge
makes a turn more to the south. There are
locations most OF the way upon which some
prospecting has been doae which all snow
gold. A Il distance Of about two miles the
Magma Cnarbef is reacneCl lne pTOpelt W VI
Thos. Rockhll and others. The ore is of
an entire different character, resembling
the ore Of the north ledge, carrying silver,
lead and gold. The ore runs about 80 per
cent. lead, 3 ounces silver and 81 in gold.
The ledge is three feet wide at a depth OF
10 feet. Two miles west of the Magma Char
ter the
WEST CAMP
Mines are reached. These mines were
worked in the early seventies. The ore
found here is different III character from
| the mines already described, some of them
carrying copper in large quantities The
principal mines of this vicinity are the
| Boulder and Boss, the property OF John
| Daily, upon which there has been consider
able work done. On the former there is a
shaft and open cut. Ores taken from these
| workings and shipped for reduction as
sayed $50 in silver and AZ per cent. lead.
! The latter claim (Boss) has deep shaft out
of which some nigh grade silver-lead ore
| has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine il the
vicinity shows vein two feet wide at a
depth of 81 feet, which assays 80 per cent.
! lead, Is ounces silver and $50 gold.
Messrs. Hip, Wren and others own seve-
raj mines in this locality, the principal
ones being the Pilot Knob, carrying gold );
the Emma, carrying gold, silver and lead:
| the Monmouth, Monitor, Star and Star of
worked for that metal. The ore was re-
duced at local copper smelling furnace
and gave good results.
| West Camp is at the extreme northwest
| end of the mineral bell and upon the sum
| nit of the range.
Returning to the Aultman mine the
GOLDEN FLEECE
Lies just to the east and adjoining the Ault-
| man. 1t is the properly of Thos. Rockhill
and the Ragsdale estate. The work con
sists of two tunnels and a shaft. The ore
| assays 30 ounces silver and $40 golG.
| South of the Golden Flpppp and n ST Of th a
Southern Cross, is the Golden West, but lit
tie prospected aud is owned by Williamson
| d Simpson.
North of the Golden Fleece is the Golden
Wedge, owned by Messrs. Thompson Il
Weber, which is also but little prospected.
I There is some ore upon it that shows gold.
North Of the Col den Wedge is the Thor
oughbred, belonging to VIM. Watson and
others. 1t has n shaft fifty feet deep which
| exposes good ore.
Adjoining the Joanna on the north and
east is the
FLORIDA
John F. Cupid. The group includes the
Florida, Dauntless and Quadrant, which
| extends across Robinson canyon to the
north. Upon the Florida in the middle OF
the Robinson canyon, the owners have sunk
shaft 81 feet deep, they drlfted north IS
feet and sunk again at the end Of the drift
| % feet, making total depth OF i42 feet
| The bottom Of the shaft is at the foot wall
|
reaching the hanging wall, showing the
ledge in the bottom to be 80 feet wide
| There is also an open assure that expose
| the ledge latterly for one hundred and fifty
| feet. The ore in these workings assay from
81 to $l3 per ton in gold. Two hundred fee;
to the north of the shaft just described
| there is another shaft in the groupings o.
the ledge 25 feet deep in which there is
eight feet OF ore that assays IS per ton il
gold. The ledge is traced through the full
| length of the Florida and across the Daunt
| less. Upon the Dauntless there are three
tunnels, one of which is I15 feet cutting
| the ledge; one is 6S feet long cutting the
| ledge, and one 80 feet which has not yet
| ton and carries some copper.
| Upon the east extension of the Golden
Fleece is the Lone Star, the property OF
Messrs. Hayes q Berry, on which there is u
shaft Is feet deep in ore.
Journeying along the ledge to the east a
| number of locations are passed which are
but little prospected. At distance of one
and one-half miles the General Logan mine
IS oeated,. The property Of Messrs, House,
Is feet long and shaft e feet deep on the
| claim which exposes ore assaying 81 per ton
South OF the General Logan is the May
Day, the property OF Messrs House, Morris
and others. There is tunnel on this mine
100 feet long and an incline in the tunnel 20
| feet deep in ore that assays So per ton ia
| GOLD and SIXTY ounces in silver. Some high
grade ore is also found in the May Day.
| These mines are upon the extreme south
| east end OF the mineral belt and are about
one mile west of the town Of Ely.
| One mile up Robinson canyon from the
town OF Ely, aud upon the north side OF the
canyon is Maggie hill from which point the
description OF the north ledge will be taken
up. The principal mines on this Hill are
the Mohee group and the Maggie group,
The Mohee group is the property of d. c..
Mcdonald and }. +. Cupid. The workings
