tinues to the bottom of the shaft but is not
the same grade. Fifty tons Of ore taken
from this shaft assayed $27 in gold to tie
ton. The ore is the same in character as
the Gold Hill, does not show as much gold in
panninp but is remarkably regular in as
SAYING. The ledge ia very prominent and
crops out at several points on the mine.
There are number of other locations
upon Gold Hill. The principal ones are the
CITY of New York, owned by Messrs. Osti-
10 feet deep, drift has been run 30 feet
from the bottom of the shaft which is all in
ore assaying 81 per ton in gold.
The Hickory, lying north OF the He'll in
the Hill belonging to Capt. Harmon and
Capt Carpenter has shaft 80 feet deep in
|. North of the Gold Hill mine some dis
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
tons. owned by ID. c. Mcdonald. Jas I. NC
Omie, ]. b. Simpson and others. There is
shaft on this mine 90 feet deep which taps
strong ledge six feet wide of ore assaying
SIS in Pold. A small streak of ore in the
ledge assays $3.50 in gold and 81 per cent
lead.
East of the Midnight short distance is
the October location, the property of
Messrs. Simpson and Rynearson: The mine
was worked in the early days of Robinson
at which time deep shaft was sunk and
| some ore was extracted which was prlncl-
! 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 show
gold. A 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 30 per
| cent. lead 3 ounces silver and 81 in gold.
The ledge is three feet wide at Il 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 III 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 81
| shaft and open cut. Ores taken from these
workings and shipped for reduction as
sayed 500 in silver and AZ per cent. lead.
The latter claim (Boss) has deep shaft out
of which some high grade silyer-lead ore
has been extracted.
Tn, Ragsdale and Rockhill mine il the
vicinity shows vein two feet wide at q
depth of 81 feet, which assays so 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 pOld ::
the Emma, carrying gold, silver and lead:
the Monmouth, Monitor, Star and Star of
the West, all carrying copper and ores
worked for that metal. The ore was re-
duced at Il local copper smelling furnace
and gave good results.
West Camp is at the extreme northwest
end of the mineral belt and upon the sum
NIT OF the ranPe.
Returning to the Aultman mine the
GOLDEN FLEECE
Lies just to the east aud ADJOINING the Ault-
H. ~
and the Ragsdaie estates The work con
sists of two tunnels aud u shaft The ore
assays 80 ounce silver and $40 golt7.
South of the Golden Fleece and east Of the
Southern Cross, is the Golden West, but lit
tie prospected and is owned by William son
d 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 ami
others. 1t has shaft fifty feet deep which
exposes good ore.
Adjoining the Joana on the nortl, and
east is the
Group, the property Of b. C. Mcdonald ant
Florida, Dauntless and Quadrant, wnich

north. Upon the Florida in the middle o.
the Robinson canyon, the owners have sunk

feet ana sunk again at the end Of the drift
81 feet, making total depth of l42 feet.
The bottom of the shaft is at the foot wall
of the ledge. They then crosscut 30 feet
reaching the hanpiug wall, showing the
ledge in the bottom to be 80 feet wide.
There is also an open fssure that exposes
the ledPe latterly for one hundred and fifty
feet. The ore in these WORKINGS assay from
81 to $l3 per ton in gold. Two hundred feet
| to the north of the shaft lust described
another
| the ledge 25 1eet deep in which there is
eight feet of ore that assays s. 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 rs feet cutting
ledge, and one 50 feet which has not yet
| reached the ledge The ore assays SIS. rs per
| ton and carries some copper.
Upon the east extension OF the Golden
| Fleece is the Lone Star, the property of
| Messrs. Hayes q Berry, on which there is a
shaft Is feet deep in ore
| Journeying along the ledge to the east a
number of locations are passed which are
| but little prospeCted. At distance of one
| and one-half miles the General LOGAN mine
| islocated, the property of Messrs. House,
Morris, Hip and others. There is Il tunnel
| % feet long and 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 tunnel on this mine
100 feet long and al incline in the tunnel 20
feet deep in 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.
