Crossing Robinson canyon again to the
south are a number OF mines located upon
a high mountain lying between Robinson
canyon and Il large canyon coming into
Robinson canyon from the south, known as
the canyon leading to White River. Here
are found the Hidden Treasure, belongiI 4
to Mcdonald and cupid; the Ontario, Poin !,
Sheba and Chief, belonging to Messrs. Hip,
Wren and others, and some locations be-
longing to John Farrell. There has been a
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 a large quantity Of orc
has been extracted and reduced. A 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
other lot was reduced at the Chairman mill
Afterward the parties owning the property
erected a mill at the mine and reduced
some of the ore. The process they employed
was the llx1yatlon 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 it
best to await a change.
In addition to the lode claims there are
within the limits of the District
