from this shalt aSsayeu ~ In gOlu 10 the
ton The ore is the same in character as
the Gold Hill, does not show as much gold in
pannnp, but is remarkably regular In as
saying. The ledge is very prominent and
crops out at several points on the mine:
upon Gold Hill. The principal ones are the
City of New York, owned by Messrs. Osti-
gard. Moore and Weber. They have shaft
20 feet deep, a drift has been run 30 feet
from the bottom of the shaft which is oil In
ore assaying 81 per ton in gold.
The Hickory, lying north of the He'll in
the Hill, belonging to Capt. Harmon and
Capt. Carpenter, has shaft So feet deep in
ore.
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
lions, owned by d. G.. Mcdonald. Jas. 7. Me-
Ome, J. B. Simpson and others. There Is
shaft on this mine 80 feet deep which taps

ledge assays $3.50 in gold and 81 per cent.
lead.
East of the Midnight a short distance is
the October location, the property of
Messrs. Simpson and 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.
JOurneyin to the northwest the edge
makes turn more to the south. There are
locations most of the way upon which some
prospecting has been done which all show
gold. At distance of about two miles the
Magma Charter is reached, the property OF
Thos. Rockhill and others The ore is of
an entire different character, resem bling
the ore of the north ledge, carrying silver,
lead and gold. The ore runs about so per
cent. lead, 3 ounces silver and 81 in gold.
The ledge is three feet wide at depth of
40 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 in 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
Daly upon which there En- has been t consider
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 high grade Silver-lead ore
has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine Ia the
vicinity shows vein two feet wide at
depth of 81 feet, which assays so per cent.
lead, Is ounces silver and $50 gold.
Messrs. Hip, Wren aud others own seye-
raj mines in this locality, the principal
ones being the Pilot Knob, carrying gold;
the Emma, carrying gold, silver and lead:
the West, all carrying copper and ores
worked for that metal. The ore was re-
duced at a local copper smelling furnace
and gave good results.
West Camp is at the extreme northwest
end of the mineral belt 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 RagsdaIe estate. The work con
sists of two tunnels and a shaft. The ore

Southern Cross is the Golden West, bet lit
tie prospected and is owned by Williamson
d Simpson.
North of the Golden Fleece is the Golden
Wedge, owned by Messrs Thompson d
Weber, which is also but little prospected.
There is some ore upon it that shows gold.
North OF the Golden Wedge is the Thor
oughbred, helougiag to Wm. Watson and
others. 1t has shaft fifty feet deep " hich
exposes good ore.
Adjoining the Joana on the north and
east is the
FLORIDA
Group the property OF d. G. Mcdonald and
John +. Cui id. The GROUP luei4des the
Florida Dauntless and Quadrant, which
extends across Robinson canyon t. the
nofth. Upon the Florida in tae middle vi
the Robinson canyon, the owners have sunk
a shaft 81 feet deep, they drifted north 20
feet and sunk again at the end # he drift

The bottom of the shaft is at the GOT wall
of the ledge. They then crosseut 30 feet
reaching the hanging wall, showing the
ledge in the bottom to be 81 feet wide.
There is $50 an open assure thet exposes
the ledPe latterly for one hundred and fifty
feet. The ore in these WORKINGS assay from
81 to $l3 per ton in gold. Two hundred feet
to the north of the shaft lust described
there is another shaft in the groupings OF
the ledge rs feet deep in which there is
eight feet of ore that assays s. per ton in

length of the Florida and across tive Daunt-
less. Upon the Dauntless there are three
tunnels, Que of which is 10 feet cutting
the ledge; one is IS feet long, cutting the
ledge, and one 30 feet which has not yet
reached the ledge. The ore assays $o.75 per
ton and carries some copper
Upon the east extension of the Golden
Fleece is the Lone Star, the property. OF
Messrs. Hayes d Berry, on which there is a
shaft Is feet deep in ore.
Journeying along the ledge to the east
number OF locations are passed which are
but little prospected. At distance of one
is located, the property of Messrs House,
Morris, Hip and Others There is d tunnel
rs feet long and shaft Sc 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 a tunnel on this mine
100 feet long and an incline in the tunnel 20
feet deep In ore that assays IS per ton in
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, and 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.
