About $50 tons Of this ore is extracted .n1
upon the dump at the mine. Some att
mates show. thousand tons in sight.
Passing along the ledge TO the west NJ,
merous locations are seen. The Blackstana
Ohio and Union, carrying gold, silver and
lead, are the property of Governor McKin-
ley and others. All have work upon them
and expose considerable ore.
North of the last named mines arc tbo
Rip Van Wrinkle and Edna, owned by
Messrs. Simpson, Lyons and McOmie Thass
mines have shafts and open cuts upon
them, the greatest depth attained being q
feet. The Rip Van Wrinkle ore carries gold
and silver about equal. The Edna ore a.
says from S. to $50 in free gold.
South of the Union and Ohio is the Cloud
and the Gold Bug. The latter is owned by
MesSrs. Weber and Disregard, in which
quite body of $40 ore is found.
West of the Ohio is the Great Western thu
property of Messrs. Hip, Wren and Others.
The works aggregate 400 feet and some
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 aud others. These mines were all
worked in early days and produced most of
the bullion at that time. The ore was sill
yer, gold and lead.
Crossing Robinson canyon again to the
south are number of mines located upon
nigh mountain lying between Robinson
canyon and large canyon coming into
Robinson canyon from the south, known rs
the canyon leading to White River. $50
are found the Hidden Treasure, be1ot
to Mcdonald and Cupid: the Ontario, -~-..
Sheba and Chief, belonging to Messrs3 7
Wren and others, and some locationbF3 ~
longing to John Farrell. There has been 4
large amount of work done upon this
mountain and several shipments OF or6
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 Key
Stone, from which large quantity of ore
has been extracted and reduced. 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 a lot of this ore reduced
the Monitor mill, Steptoe creek, and an
oth9r lotWas 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 lixiyatlon 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 are

| OF Ely in the mouth of Robinson canyon
| The Robinson Canyon Consolidated Mining
| Company has located about O0Oo feet
| ground extending up the canyon to poin
! above the Joanna mine, which is located as
| 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 from two to
eight feet of gravel is found which carries
| gold. IT is coarse and easily saved in an
ordinary sluice box, which method is used
! by the Company in the spring Of the year,
| when there is surface water running down

lt Will be seen from the above description

| neea, 10 give the reader - general idea OF
! i Is magnitude. -
Nature has done her part for the success
OF the camp The ore is ferE SOFT most of
| 1t can be mined without blasGng tnereb Y
| saving Preat expense. There are uumer4
! Gus SPRINGS in Inc district chat can DC used
ut the mines, and at the town OF Ely there
Is d large stream of pure water that is not
effected by frost or by hot and dry seasona.
The hills are covered with an abundance of
timber, suitable for miuing and fuel. Good
wagon roads are built To all portions of TIL
