tlnueS to the bottom OF the Anaft puV Is not
the same grade. Fifty tons of ore taken
from this shaft assayed 81 in gold to tie
ton The ore is the same in character as
the Gold Hill, does not show as much gold in
panuing, but is remarkably regular i'll as
saving The Ledge is very prominent and
crops out at several points on the mine.
There are n number OF other locations
upon Gold Hill. The principal ones are the
CITY of New York, owned by Messrs. Osti
eard. Moore and Weber. They have shaft
20 feet deep a drift has been run 80 feet
from the bottom of the shaft which is all in
ore assayiug 81 per ton in gold.
The Hickory. l7ing north Of the He'll in
the Hill, be1ouaing to Capt Harmon aud
Capt. Carpenter mas shaft 80 feet deep in
ore.
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
tions, owned by d. c. Mcdonald. Jas. 2. Me
Omie j. b. simpson and others. There is
shaft on this mine 80 feet deep which taps
a strong ledge SIX feet wide OF ore assaying
sis in pOd. small streak OF ore in the
ledge assays Sl50 in gold and e. per cent.
East Of the Midnight 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 q deep shaft was sunk and
some ore was extracted which was prlncl-
ply silver carrying but little gold.
Journsying to the northwest the ledge
makes a turn more to the south. There are
locations most OF the way upon winch some
prospecting has been done when al snow
gold At distance OF about two miles the
MAGMA Charter is reached, the property OF
Thos Roekhill 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 3 ounces silver aud 81 in gold.
The ledge is three feet wide at q 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 in 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
shaft and open cut. Ores taken from these
WORKINGS and shipped for reduction sas-
sayed $50 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.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine i the
vicinity shows vein two feet wide at a
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 West, all carrying copper and ores
worked for that metal The ore was re-
dueed at a 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 RaPsdale estate. The work con
sists of two tunnels and shaft. The ore
assays 80 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
! x Simpson.
North OF the Golden Fleece is the Golden
Wedge, owned by Messrs. Thompson 4
| Weber, which is also but little ,prospected.
/ There is some ore upon it that shows gold.
| North OF the Golden Wedge is the Thor
| ouphbred, belonging to Vim. Watson and
Others. 1t has shaft fifty feet deep which
| exposes good ore.
Adjoining the Joana 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

the Robinson canyon, the owners have sunk
| a shaft 81 feet deep, they drifted north %
! feet aad SINK again at the cad OF the drift
| % feet making total depth Of III feet
fhe bottom OF the shalt is a the foot wall
OF the ledge. they then crosscut 80 feet
! reaching the HANGING wall, showing the
| ledge in me bottom to be 30 feet wide.
! There is also an open tissure that exposes
the ledPe latterly for one hundred and fifty
! feet. The ore in these workings assay from
| 81 to Sl3 per ton in gold. Two hundred feet
| TO the north OF the shaft just described
[ there is another shaft in the groupings Of
! the ledge % leet deep in which there is
eight feet Of ore that assays s. per ton in
gold. The ledPe is traced through the full
| length of the FLORIDA and across the D9uut-
| less. Upon the Dauntless there are three
| tunnels, one of which is li5 feet cutting
the ledge; one is IS feet lone cutting the
ledge, aud one 30 feet which has not yet
reached the ledge. The ore assays 1913 per
| ton and carries some copper.
! tpOn the east extension of the Golden
Fleeca IS the Lone Star, the property. OF
Messr5. Hayes x Berry, on witch there is a
shalt 10 feet deep in ore.
Journeying along the ledge to the east u
number OF locations are passed which are
but little prospeeted Alta distance of one
and onehalf miles the General Logan mine
! is located, the property OF MeSsrs. House.
/ Morris, Hip aud others There is a tunnel
10 feet long and shaft 81 feet deep on the
| claim which exposes ore &Ssaying 81 per ton.

and others There is q tunnel on this mine
100 feet long and an incline In the tunnel 20
feet deep i'll ore that assays So per ton ia
gold ana 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 ana are about
one mile west OF the town OF Ely.
Cne mile up Robinson canyon from the
town Of Ely, and upon the north side OF tho
canyon is Maggie hill from which point the
