crops ont at several points on the mine.
There are a humble of other locations
upon Cold Hill. The principal ones are the
City Of New York, owned by Messrs Qstl.
card. Moore and Weber. They have a shaft
70 feet deep, a drift has been run 30 teet

ore asSayine 81 per ton in gold.
The Hickory, lying north OF the Hell IN
the HILL belonging to Capt. H0rmon and

SIS in gold. small streak Of ore in the
ledge assays $50 in gold and 81 per cent.
East of the Midnight a short distance is
the October location, the property Of
Messrs. SIMPSON and Ryne&rson. 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 a turn more to the south. There are
locations most Of the way upon which some
prospecting has been done which al snow

Magma Charter is reached, the property of
| Thos Roekhill 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

The ledpe is three feet wide ut q depth OF
10 feet Two miles west OF the Magma Char
ter the

worked in the early seventies The. ore
found here is different IL character from
the mines already described, some of them
carrying copper in larPe 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
sayed S5o in silver aud AZ per cent. lead
The latter claim (Boss) has deep shaft out
Of which some high grade silyer-lead ore
has been extracted.
