large amount of work done upon this

and lead. VIZ
West from this mountain about two miles
distant is the property of Messrs Jackson
and Kind of Eureka known as the Kev
stone, from which n largo quantity of ore
mas been extracted and reduced A num-
Der OF shipments were sent to the Eureka
furnaces for treatment which Welded about
two hund ed dollars per ton in silver
There was also q lot of this ore reduced a
the Monitor mill, Steptoe creek, and an
other lot was reduced at the Chairman mill
AfterWaFd the parties owning the property
erected a mill at the mine and reduced
some OF the ore The process they employed
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 ara

OF Ely IN the mouth Of Robinson canyon
The Robinson Canyon Consolidated Mining
Company has located about 10000 feet O
ground extending up the canyon to a poin
above the Joaua mine, whice is located as
placer ground. The property is worked
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 Slu1ce bOx, which met lOd is used
by the Company in the spring of the year,
when there is surface water running down
the canyon. Several runs nave been made
in this way The Company is now arrany-

1t Will be seen from the above description
that the mineral belt extends from the Nav

Nature has done her part for the success
