ABOUT 100 tons of this ore is extracted ana
upon the dump at the mine. some est
mates show thousand tons in sight
Passing along the ledge to the west M
merous locations are seen. The Blackstone
Ohio and Union, carrying gold, silver and
iead, are the property of Governor McKin-
ley and others. All have work upon them
and expose considerable ore.
North of the last named mines are the
KIP Van Wrinkle and Edna, owned by
Messrs. simpson, Lyons and MeOmie These
mines have shafts and open cuts upon
them, the greatest depth attained being Ok
feet. The Rip Van Wrinkle ore carries gold
and silver about equal. The Edna ore as
says from SIS to $50 in free gold
South of the Union and Ohio is the C1ond
and the Gold Bug. The latter is owned nv
Messrs. Weber and Disregard, in which
qu.e body of $40 ore is found.
West Of the Ohio is the Great Western the
property OF Messrs. Hip, Wren and others.
The. works aggregate 400 feet and soms
good ore is exposed.
West of the Great Western lies the Com
modore, Issacs, Hicks, Eliza Bullion and
Springville, the property of Governor Nc.
Kinley and others. These mines were all
worked in early days and produced most Of
the bullion at that time. The ore was xiI
yer, gold and lead.
Crossing Robinson canyon again to the
south are number of mines located upon
high mountain lying between Robinson
canyon and a large canyon coming into
known q
the canyon leading to White River. Her,
are found the Hidden Treasure belongine
to Mcdonald and Cupid; the Ontario Poin .
Sheba and Chief, belonging to Messrs Hip.
wren ana 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 Kew
stone, from which large quantity of ore
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 lot of this ore reduced
the Monitor mill, Steptoe creek, and an
oth9r lot was reduced at the Chairman mill
Afterward the parties owning the property
erected mill at the mine and reduced
some OF the ore: The process they employed
was the lixlyat1on 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
best to await a change.
In addition to the lode claims there ara
within the limits of the District
PLACER MINES
About one-fourth of mile from the town
OF Ely in the mouth of Robinson cannon
The Robinson Canyon Consolidated Mining
Company has located about 10000 feet o
ground extending up the canyon to poin
above the Joana mine, which is located az
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 9rom two to
eight feet of gravel is found which carries
gold. 1t is coarse and easily saved in ap
ordinary slulce box, which method is USED
by the Company in the spring of the year,
when there is surface water running down
the canyon. Several runs have been ntade
in this way. The Company is now arrang-
ing TO put IN dry separators, when they ex
pect the property viii be made pay.
The Maud S. placer claim adloins thej
property ls.st described, and extends up they
canyon and includes twenty acres within
It's It's boundarles. It is owned by j. B. vii
Hanson and in all respects is like the prop
erty OF the Robinson Canyon Consolidated
Placer Mining Company
1t Will be seen from the above description
that the mineral belt extends from the Nav
Day mine on the southeast end to / NC
mines at West Camp on the northwest end,
covering distance of about eight miles in
length. The width of the belt varies SONG
At PLACES it is fully mile wide, and at no
place is it less than half mile Mineral
can be found on all portions of the belt.
There are many locations in the district
that have not been mentioned in this arti-
Gle. However sufficient NUM- er has
been, to give the reader general idea of
its magnitude.
Nature has done her part for the success
OF the camp The ore is very soft most of
1t can be mined without blasting thereby
saving great expense. There are nu.ner-
Gus springs in the district that can be used
at the mines, and at the town of Ely there
Is large stream of pure water that is not
effected by frost or by hot and dry seasons
The hills are covered with an abundance of
timber, suitable for mining and fuel Good
wagon roads are built to all portions of tho
district, and all the mines are easy Of &c
cess. All that is required for live and
booming camp is money, and he who in.
vests Will reap the reward.
