Anout $50 tons of this ore = extracted ana
open the dump At the IN n Some ssti-
mates show thousand ton, in si~ht.
Passing along the ledge 10 the west nu-
merous locations are seen. The Blackstone,
Ohio and Union, c0rryino gold, silver and
lead, are the property of Go,eraor McKin-
ley and others. All have york upon them
and expose considerable ore.
North of the last Ii A., mines are the
Rip Van Wrinkle and f ina, owned By
Messrs Simpson, Lyons anu McOmie These
m1ues have Shafts ,aEd open cuts upon
them, the greatest depth attained being Is
feet The Rip Van Wrinkle IRE carries gold
and silver about equ |. The Edna ore a..
says from IS to $50 in free gold. y
South of the Union and Ohio is the Cloud
and the Gold Bug. The latter is owned by
Messrs Weber and Disregard, in which
que 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 and some
good ore is exposed.
West of the Great Western lies the Com
modore, Issacs, Hicks Eliza, Bullion and
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 II ines located upon
| d high mountain lying between Robinson
canyon and d 1arse canyon coming inAo
Robinson canyon from the south, known ak
the canyon leading to Wh:1e River Herb
are found the Hidden Treasure, belonging
to Mcdonald and Cupid; the Ontario, Pom,
Sheba and Chief, belonging to Messrs. Hip,
| Wren and others, and some locations be-
| longing to john Farrell. There has been .
| 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 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 lotW reduced at the chairman mill
| Afterward the parties owning the property
erected u mill at the mine and reduced
some of the ore: The process they employed
| was the lixiYation 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 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 feet
ground extending up the canyon to a poin
above the Joanna mine, which is located as
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 dow
the canyon. Several runs have been made
IN this Way. The Company is nov arrang-
ing to put in dry sepaPatOrs, when they ex !.
| pect the property viii he made pay
The Maud s. ll4cer claim adjoins the
property lhst described, ana extends up tn 0
canyon and includes twenty acres within
its boundaries. 1t is owned by j. b. Will
hanson and i'll all respects is like the prop
erty OF the Robinson Canyon Consolidated
Placer Mining Company.
twill be seen from the abOve description
that the mineral belt extends from the Nav
Day mine on the southeast end to- tho
mines 1T West Camp on the nuTttl-Wcs eud.
covering distance OF 1bout eight miles in
length. Tie width OF the Delt varies SOme.
AT places 1T is fully u mile wide, and 1t no
place is it less than bali mile Mineral
cln be found on all portions of the belt
mere are many locations in the distri CT
that nave not been mentioned in TIL 80 Arti-
Gle. However a sufficient number has
been, to give the reader general idea Of
its magnitude.
Nature has done her part for the success
OF the camp. The ore is very soft, most of
it can be mined without blasting thereby
saving a great expense. There are numer-
Gus SPRINGS in the district't nat can be used
at the mines, and at the to Sn of Ely there
Is large stream OF pure " alter that is not
effected by frost OF by not and dry seasons
rhe hills are covered with an abundance OF
timber, suitable for MINING and fuel Good
WAGON roads are built to all portions of the
district, and all the mines are easy of AZ
cess. All that is required for live aud
booming camp Is money, and ne who iu-
vests will reap the reward.
