tiuues to the bottom oil the shaft but is not
the same Grade. Fifty tons OF ore taken
from this Shaft assayed S27 in gold to tie
ton. The ore is the same in character as
| the Gold Hill,does not show as mueh gold IN
panning, but is remarkably regular in as
saying. The ledge is very prominent and
CROPS out at several points on the mine.
Tnert are number of other locations
upon Gold Hill. The principal ones are the
Cily Of New York, owned by Messrs Osti-
gard Moore and Weber. They have shaft
20 feet deep drift has been run 30 feet
from the bottom of the shaft which is all 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 30 feet deep i'll
ore.
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
lions, owned by d. C. Mcdonald. Jas. P. Nc
Omie, J. B, Simpson and others. There is a
shaft on this mine 80 feet deep which taps
a strong ledge six feet wide of ore assaying
SIS in gold. A small streak of ore in the
ledge assays $3.50 in gold and 81 per cent.
lead.
East of the Midnight 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.
Journeying to the northwest the ledge
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 eutire 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 - in gold.
The ledge is three feet wide at a 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 i'll 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 At per cent. lead.
| The latter claim (Boss) has a deep shaft out
of which some high grade siNer-lead ore
| has been extracted.
The Ragsdae and Rockhill mine ia the
! vicinity shows a 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 Knoh, carrying gold;
| the Emma, carrying gold, silver and lead:
the Monmouth, Monitor, Star and Star Of
| the West, all carrying copper and ores
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 belt and upon the sum
| nit OF the range.

GOLDEN FLEECE
Lies just to the east aud adjoining the Anlt-

South OF the Golden Fleece and east of tn .
| Southern Cross, is the Golden West, bot lit
tie proapected and is owned by Williamson
| d Simpson.
North OF The Golden Fleece is tne Golden
| Wedge, owned by Messrs. Thompson "
! Weber, which is also but little prospected.
| There is some ore upon it tllat shows gold.
! North Of the Golden Wedge il the Thor-
| oughhred, belonging to VIM. Watson and
others. 1t has "a shaft fifty feet deep whica
exposes good ore
Adjoining the Joanna GA the north ana
| east is the
FLORIDA
Group, the property Of D. C. Mcdonald and
! John i. Cupid. Tho group includes th2
Florida, Dauntless and quadrant, which
| extends across Robinson cAnycp to tka
north. Upon the Florida in the )njadl> o.
| the Robinson canyon, the owners h1v@ sank

| % feet, making total depth Of l42 feet
| The bottom OF the shaft is at the SCOT wall
of the ledge. They then crosscut 30 feet
| reaching the hanging wall, showing the
| ledge in the bottom to be 80 feet wide.
! There is also an open assure that exposes
| the Ledge latterly for one hundred and fifty
| feet The ore in these workings assay from
81 to s13 per ton in gold. Two hundred feet
| to the north of the shaft just described
| there is another shaft in the groupings OF
! the ledge % feet deep in which there is
| eight feet of ore that assays s. per ton in
| 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
| reached the ledge. The ore assays s.. 10 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 O.
shaft Is feet deep in ore.
| Journeying along the ledge to the east a
number of locations are passed which are
and one-half miles the General Logan mine
! is located, the property of Messrs House,
| Morris, Hip and others. There is tunnel
| 70 feet long, and shaft SO feet deep on the
| claim which exposes ore assaying 81 per ton
! South of the General Logan is the Nav
Day, the property OF Messrs. House, Morris
| and others. There is o tunnel on this mine
| 100 feet long aud an incline in the tunnel 20
! feet deep IN ore that assays Sc 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
