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 much gold IN
panning, but is remarkably regular in as
saying The ledPe is very prominent and
crops out at several points on the mine
There are n number of other locations
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, drift has been run 80 feet
from the bottom of the shaft which is all in
ore assaying 81 per ton in gold.
The Hickory, lTing north Of the He'll in
the Hill, BELONGING to Capt. Harmon and
Capt Carpenter, mas shaft 30 feet deep in
ore.
North of the Gold Hill niue some dis
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix lOca-
lions, owned by D. C. Mcdonald. Jas. 2. Nc

lead.
East of the Midnight short distance is
| the october location, the property of
Messrs. simpson and kynearson: The mine
! was worked in the early days OF Robinson
at which time deep shaft was SINK and
! some ore was extracted which was princi-
ply silver carrying but little gold.
Journeyine 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. Al 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 aud gold. The ore runs about 80 per
| cent lead, 3 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
| 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
| DAILY, upon which there has been consider
able work done. On the former there is
| 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 a deep shaft out
of which some high grade silver-lead ore
has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine i L the
vicinity shows a vein two feet wide at a
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 Knob, carrying gold;
the Emma, carrying gold, silver and lead:
the Monmouth, Monitor, Star and Star of
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 north-west
end of the mineral belt and upon the sum-
nit of the range.
Returning to the Aultman mine the
GOLDEN FLEECE

man. 1t is the properly of Thos. Rockhill

south OF the Golden Fleece and east of the
Southern Cross, is the Golden West, but lit
tie prospected and is owned by Williamson
4 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, belonging to VIM. Watson and
others. 1t has d shaft fifty feet deep which
exposes good ore
Adjoining the Joanna on the north and
east is the
Group, the property OF d. c. Mcdonald and
John +. Cupid. The group includes the
Florida, DauntleSs and Quadrant, which
extends across Robinson canyon to the
north. Upon the Florida in the middle OF
the Robinson canyon, the owners have sunk
a shaft 81 feet deep, they drifted north 25
feet end sunk again at the end of the drift |
The bottom Of the shaft il 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 f1sSure that exposes
the ledPe MJterly for one hundred and fifty |
feet. The ore in these workings assay from |
~ to Sl3 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 IS feet deep in which there is |
eight feet OF ore that assays So 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 lis feet cutting |
the ledge; one is Is feet long cutting the
ledge, and one 80 feet which has not yet |
reached the ledge. The ore assays 1915 per |
ton and carries some copper.
Upon the east extension of the Golden |
Fleece is the Lone Star, the property of
Messrs. Hayes IL Berry, on which there is a
shaft Is feet deep in ore.
JOuTneying along the ledge to the east q |
number Of locations are passed which are |
but little prOspeCted. AT distance of one |
and one-half miles the General Logan mine |
IS located. the property OF Messrs. House, |
Morris, Hip and others. There is a tunnel |
70 feet long and shaft Sc feet deep on the |
clAlm 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 |
l20 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 aud 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 |
