ABOUT 100 tons Of this ore is extracted ana
upon the dump at the mine. SomS s SHH
mates show q thousand tons in sight. "
Passing along the ledge to the west mn.
Ohio and Union, carrying gold, silver enS
lead, are the property of Governor MeR;nu
ley and others. All have work upon thar,
and expose considerable ore.
North of the last named mines arc IN
Rip Van Wrinkle and Edna, owned hs
Messrs. Simpson, Lyons and McOmie. Ths,,
mines have shafts and open cuts nnou
them, the greatest depth attained beinpS
feet. The Rip Van Wrinkle ore carries gold
and silver about equal. The Edna ore sSl
says from SIS to $50 in free gold.
South of the Union and Ohio is the Cloud
and the Gold Bug. The latter is owned hT
Messrs. Weber and Disregard, in which
que a body of $40 ore is found
West of the Ohio is the Great Western III.
property of Messrs. Hip, Wren and other
The. works aggregate 400 feet and soms
good ore is exposed.
West of the Great Western lies the Con-
modore, Issacs, Hicks, Eliza, Bullion ann
Springville, the property of Governor Nc.
Kinley 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 nnon
a high mountain lying between Robinson
canyon and large canyon coming into
known az
the canyon leading to White River. Here
are found the Hidden Treasure. belonpine
to Mcdonald and Cupid; the Ontario. POI
Sheba and Chief, belonging to ,Messrs| IN
Wren and others, and some location /B
longing to John Farrell. There has beeitE
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 MpSSrS
and Kind of Eureka, known as the Key
Stone, from which u 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 a 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 a mill at the mine and reduced
some of the ore. The process they employed
was the llXlvation 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 il
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 n 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 an
ordinary sluice 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
The a n ia

Placer Mining Company.
1t will be seen from the above description
that the mineral belt eXtendsfrom the MAY
Day mine on the southeast end to he
mines at West Camp on The northwest end,
covering distance OF about eight miles n
length. The width of the belt yaries solSc
at places it is fully mile wide, and at 10
place il it less than half mile. Mineral
can oe found on all pOrtions of the uGSE
There are Many locations in the district
That have not been mentioned in ,is arti-

been, to rive the reader general idea OF
It's magnitude. $50,
Nature has done her part for the success
OF the camp. THE ore is very soit, most OF
it can be mined without blasting, thereby
saving great expense There are numee-
Gus springs in the district that can be used
at the III ines, and at the town Of Ely thcse
is large stream Of pure water that is not
effected by frost or by hot and dry seasors.
The hills are covered with an abundance Of
timber, suitable for miuiuq and fuel. GoM
wagon roads arc built to all portions of tia
district, and all the mirYes are easy of a.
cess. All that is required for II live and
