gold. Al a 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, resembling
the ore of the north ledge, carrying silver,
lead and gold. The ore runs about 80 per
cent lead, ounces silver and 81 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
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 high grade silver-lead ore
has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine il the
vicinity shows vein two feet wide at
depth OF 81 feet, which assays so per cent.

Messrs. Hip, Wren and others own seve-

ones being the Pilot Knob, carrying gold;

the Monmouth, Monitor, Star and Star of
the West, all carrying copper and ores
worked for that metal. The Oro 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

Adjoining the Joanna on the north and
FLORIDA
Group, the property of D. G. Mcdonald and
John f. Cupid. The group includes the
Florida, Daantless and Quadrant, which
extends across Robinson canyon to the
Eortn. Upon the Florida in the middle of
the Kobiuson canyon, the owners have sunk
n shaft 81 feet deep, they drifted north %
feet and sunk again at the end of the drift
80 feet, making total depth of l42 feet.
The bottom of the shaft is at the foot wall
OF the ledge. They then crosscut 80 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 1atterly for one hundred and fifty
feet The ore in these workings assay from
81 to $13 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 % 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 aud across the Daunt-
less. Upon the Dauntless there are three
tunnels, Que of which is lbs feet cutting
the ledge; one is rs feet long cutting the
ledge, and one 30 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 d Berry, on which there is a
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 a distance of one
and one half miles the General Logan mine
is located, the property Of Messrs. House,
Morris, Hip and others. There is tunnel
% feet long and shaft s. feet deep on the
claim Wh!ch 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 d tunnel on this mine
l20 feet long and an incline in the tunnel 20
feet deep in ore that assays SIS 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
