The ledge is three feet wide at depth of
40 feet. Two miles west of the Magma Char
ter the

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
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
workings and shipped for reduction as
saved $50 in silver and AZ per cent lead

and gave good results.

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 Ragsdale estate. The work con-

exposes good ore.
Adjoiuing the Joana on the north and
east is the
FLORIDA
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
Il shaft 81 feet deep, they drifted north %
leet and sunk again at the end Of the drift
IS 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 hanging wall, showing the
ledge in the bottom to be 80 feet wide.
There is also an open assure that exposes
the ledee 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 % ieet 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
the ledge; one is 6S feet long cutting the
ledge, and one 30 feet which has not vet
reached the ledge. The ore assays 81. 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

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
