a pout $50 tOus of this ore il extracted and
upon the dump at the mine Some esti-
Passing along the ledge to the west mn.
merous locations are seen. The ,Blacksfc,ne
Ohio and Union, carrying gold, silver and
lead, are the property of Governor McKin-
and expose considerable ore.
North of the last named mines are thu
Rip Van Wrinkle and Edna, owned by
Messrs. Simpson, Lyons and McOmie. These
them, the greatest depth attained being *
feet. The Rip Van Wrinkle ore carries gold
and silver about equal. The Edna orc as
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 by
Messrs Weber aud Ostergard, in which
qu:e body of $40 ore is found.
West of the Ohio is the Great Western the
property of Messrs. Hip, Wren and others
The works aggregate 400 feet aud some
good ore is exposed.
West of the Great Western lies the Com
modore, Issacs, Hicks, Eliza, Bullion aud
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- tho
south are number of mines located upon
high mountain lying between Robinson
canyon and large canyon coming into
Robinson canyon from the south, known as
are found the Hidden Treasure, belonging
to Mcdonald and Cupid; the Ontario, Point,
Sheba and Chief, belonging to Messrs Hip.
Wren and others, and some locations be-
longing to John Farrell. There has been a
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 is the property of Messrs. Jackson
and Kind of Eureka, known as the Key
Stone, from which large quantity of ore
has been extracted and reduced. A num-
furnaces for treatment which yielded about
two hund ed dollars per ton in silver
There was also q lot of tbs ore reduced
the Monitor mill, Steptoe creek, and an
other lotWas reduced at the Chairman mill
Afterward the parties owning the property
erected q mill at the mine and reduced
some of the ore. The process they employed
was the liXlvat1on 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
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 mile from the town
of Ely in the mouth of Robinson canyon
The Robinson Canyon Consolidated Mining
Company has located about 10000 Sect
ground extending up the canyon 70 a poin
above the Joanna mine, which is located az
placer ground. The property ia worked
through shafts--six in number The bed
rock is found at an average deptA of sew
enty feet. On the bed rock froin two to-
eight feet of gravel is found which carries
gold. 1t is coarse and easily s.Ted in an
ordinary siuice box, which method is used
by the Company in the spring 81 the year,
when tnere is surface water running down
the canyon Several runs have been made
in this way. The Company is noN arrang-
ing to put in dry sep4rator5, whan they ex.
pect the property will be iuade paw
The Maud S. placer claim ,lloins ths
property last de scribed, and extends I'D the
canyon and includes twenty acres within
its boundaries. 1t is owned by j. Il. Viii
hanson aud in all respects is like tle prop
erty of the Robinson Canyon Consolidated
Placer Mining Company.
1t will be Seen from the above decoration
that the mineral belt extends froan the May
Day mine on the southeast end to ,hv
mines at West Camp on the nor ~ ~ est cad.
covering distance of about eight miles in
length. The width Of TIE belt aries so ne.
At places it is fully a mile wide, nAd at 70
place Is 1t less than half mil Mineral
can be found on all portions of the ant
There are many locations in, tne district
that have not been mentioned in tais i,rti-
Gle. However Il sufficient runlbcr has
been, to give the reader a general idea Of
its magnitude.
Nature has done her part io7 the success
OF the carnp. me ore Is very soft, most Of
1t can be mined without blasting, tnereny
saving rfCat Expense. there are uuln%r-
Gus SPRINGS in the district tnat can be nati
at the mines, and at the town of Ely there
IL large stream OF pure water thai is not
effected by frost or by bot and dry Seasons.
The hills are covered with an abundance Of
timber, suitable for mininp and fuel Good
WapOn roads are built to all portions Of the
district, and all the mines are easy of No.
cess. All that is required for live ard
booming camp is money, and he who in
vests Will reap the reward.
