from this shaft assayed $27 in gold to the
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 ledge is very prominent and
crops out at several points on the mine:
There are a 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 q shaft
70 feet deep, drift has been run so feet
from the bottom of the shaft which is all in
ore aSsaying 81 per ton in gold.
The Hickory, living north of the He'll in
the Hill, belonging to Capt Harmon and
Capt. Carpenter, has q shaft 30 feet deep in
ore.

tons, owned by D. C. Mcdonald. Jas. P. Nc
Omie, j. B. Simpson and others. There Is a
shaft on this mine 90 feet deep which taps
a strong ledge six feet wide of ore assaying

ledge assays $3.50 in gold and 67 per cent.
lead.
East of the Midnight a short distance is
the October location, the property of
Messrs. Simpson and Rynearson. The mine
was worked i'll 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 turn more to the south. There are
locations most Of the way upon which some
prospecting has been done WHICH all snow
gold. At q 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 and gold. The ore runs about 90 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 i'll 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. GA the former there is a
shaft and open cut Ores taken from these
workings and shipped FOR reduction as
sayed $50 in silver and AZ PEI cent. lead.
The latter claim Boss has deep shaft cut
has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockfiu mine il the
vicinity shows a vein two feet wide at q
depth OF 81 feet, which assays sc per cent.
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 L:
the Monmouth, Monitor, stsr and Star OF
the West all carrying copper and ores
worked for that metal. The ore was re-
duced at local copper smelling furnace
ana gave good results.
West Camp is at the extreme northwest
end OF the mineral belt and upon the sum-
nit of the range
Returning to the Aultman mine the
GOLDEN FLEECE
Lies just to the east and adjoining the Ault-
| man. 1t is the properly OF Thos. Rockh Ill
| and the Ragsdale estate The work con-
sists of two tunnels and shaft. The ere
assays sc ounce silver and $40 gol6.
! South of the Golden Fleece and east Of the
| Southern Cross, is the Golden West but lit
& Simpson.
North of the Golden Fleece is the Golden
| Wedge, owned by Messrs Thompson q
Weber, which is also but little .prospected
There is some ore upon it that shows gold.
! North Of the Golden Wedge is the Thor
| oughbre6, belonging to VIM. Watson and
others. 1t has shaft fifty feet deep which
! exposes GOOD ore.
Adjoining the Joana on the north and
east is the
Group, the property of D. c. Mcdonald and
John F. 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 q
55 feet, making total depth of 142 feet.
The bottom of the shaft is at the loot wall
Of the ledge. They then crosscut so feet
reaching the hanging wall, showing the
ledge in the bottom TO be 80 feet wide.
There is also an open assure that exposes
the ledge latterly for one hundred and fifty
feet The ore in these workings assay from
"a to $13 per ton in gold. Two hundred feeg
TO the north OF the SHAFT just described
there is another shaft in the groupings OF
the ledge rs 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 aud across the Daunt-
less. Upon the Dauntless there are three
tunnels, one Of which is I15 feet cutting
the ledge; one is 6S feet long cutting the
ledge, and one 30 feet which has not yet
reached the ledge. The ore assays So rs per
ton and carries some copper.
Upon the east extension of Che Golden
Fleece is the Lone Star, the property of
shaft Is feet deep in ore.
Journeying along the ledge to the east
number OF locations are passed which are
but little prospected. At a distance of one
and one-half miles the General Logan mine
is located, the property of Messrs House,
Morris, Hip and others. There is q tunnel
IS feet long and Il shaft sc feet deep on the
claim 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 q tunnel on this mine
1870 feet long and an incline in the tunnel 20
feet deep il ore that assays So 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 and 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 DE taken
up. The principal mines on this hill are
the Mohee group and the Maggie group.
The Mohee group is the property Of D. G.
