ton. The ore is the same in character as
the Gold Hill, does not show as much gold in
banning, but is remarkably regular in as
saving. The ledge is very prominent and
crops out at several points on the mine.
There are q 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 shaft
70 feet deep, drift has been run 80 feet
from the bottom OF the shaft which is all i'll
ore assaying 81 per ton in gold.
The Hickory, living north of the He'll in
the Hill, Be1Onging to Capt. Harmon and
Capt. Carpenter, has shaft 30 feet deep i'll
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
tions, owned by D. c. Mcdonald. Jas. p Nc
| 0mie 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 81 per cent.
lead.
East OF the Midnight q 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 princi-
! ply silver carrying but little gold.
! JCurneying to the northwest the ledge
makes n turn more to the south. There are
! locations most of the way upon which some
| prospecting has been done which all show
| gold Al 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 80 per
cent. lead 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. On the former there is q
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 silver-lead ore
| has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine ia the
vicinity shows vein two feet wide at q
depth of 81 feet, which assays 80 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:
| the Monmouth, Monitor, Star and Star of
the West, all carrying copper and ores
|
| duced at 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 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. Rockhill
| and the Ragsdale estate. The work con-
ssts of two tunnels and a Shaft. The ore
assays 30 ounce silver and $40 golc
South of the Golden Fleece and east of the
| Southern Cross, is the Golden West, but lit
tie prospected and is owned by Williamson
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
others. 1t has d Shaft fifty feet deep which
exposes good ore.
Adjoining the Joanna 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
SHAFT 81 feet deep, they drifted north 25
! feet aud sunk again at the end of the drift

| The bottom of the shaft is ut the foot wall
OF the ledge. They theu crosscut 50 feet
reaching the hanging WALL showing the
| ledge in the bottom to be so feet wide
| There is also an open fisaure that exposes
the ledge latterly for one hundred and fifty
! feet. The ore in these workings assay from
! 81 to S13 per ton in gold Two hundred fee
| to the north of the shaft just described
| there is another shaft in the groupings o.
| the ledge % feet deep in which there il
! 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 I15 feet cutting
! the ledge; one is 6S feet long cutting the
| ledge, and one so feet which has not yet
| reached the ledge The ore ASSAYS IS. rs Der
| ton and carries some copper.
Upon the east extension of the Golden
| Fleece is the Lone Star, the property OF
Messrs. Hayes Berry, on which there is a
| shaft Is feet deep in ore
| Journeying along the ledge to the east
| number of locations are passed which are
| but little. prospected. At distance of one
and Que half miles the General Logan mine
IS lccMtel, The property of Messrs. House,
Morris, Hip and others. There is tunnel
| 70 feet long and shaft 81 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
10 feet long and an incline in the tunnel 20
feet deep IN ore that assays Sc per ton in
gold and sixty ounces in silver. Some high
grade ore Is also found in the May Day
lhese 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 be taken
up. me principal mines on this hill are
the Mohee group and the Maggie group.
