the same grade. Fifty tons OF ore taken
from this shaft assayed ~! In gold to Tie
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 NINE min e..
There are a number of other locations
upon Gold Hill. The principal ones are the

gard, Moore and Weber. They have shaft
70 feet deep, drift has been run 80 feet

Capt. Carpenter, has shaft 30 feet deep IN
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis

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 Mnlcn 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 At 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, ounces silver and 81 in gold.
The ledge is three feet wide at depth of
40 feet. Two miles west of the Magma Char
| ter the
WEST GIMP
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 a
| 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.
Thu Ragsdale and POckh1ll mine Ia the
vicinity shows q ven two feet wide at
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 gold;
the Emma, carrying gold, silver and lead:
| the Monmouth, Monitor, Star land Star of
the West, all carrying copper and ores
worked for that metal. The ore was re-
| duced at local copper smelling furnace
| and gave good results.
| West Camp is at the extreme northwest
| end of the mineral bell 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 Ragsdaie estate. The work con-
sists of two tunnels and shaft. The ore
| assays 50 ounce silver and $40 COLE
South OF the Golden Fleece and east of the
Southern Cross is the Golden West, but lit

| North OF the Golden Fleece is the Golden
| Wedge, owned by Messrs. Thompson Il
Weber, which is also but little prospected.
! There is some ore upon it that shows gold.

| Group, the property of D. c. McDopal" and
John f. Cupid The group includes the
| Florida, Ds.dntless and Quadrant, which
| extends across Robinson canyon to the
north. Upon the Florida in the middle Of
the Robinson canyon, the owners haYesunk
a shaftS7 ieet deep, they drifted north %
feet and sunk again at the end Of the drift
So feet, making total depth Of III feet.
The bottom Of the shaft is st the foot wall
| of the ledge. They then crosscut 30 feet
reaching the HANGING wall, showing the
ledge in the bottom to be 80 feet wide.
| There is also an open hssure that exposes
the ledpe latterly for one hundred and fifty
| feet. The ore in these workings assay from
| 81 to $13 per ton in gold. Two hundred feet
| to the north OF the shaft lust described
| there is another shaft in the Groupings of
the ledge % 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 aud across the Daunt-
| less. Upon the Dauutless there are three
| tunnels, one of which is lbs 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 1915 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
shaft - 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 tunnel
IS 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
100 feet long and an incline in the tunnel 20
feet deep in ore that assays S. 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 be taken
up. The principal mines on this Hill are
the Mohee group and the Maggie group.
The Mohee group is the property of D. c.
