/ The Hickory, lying north of the He'll in
the Hill, belonging to Capt. Harmon and

ore.
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
tions owned by D. {. Mcdonald Jas. p. Me
Omie, j. B. Simpson and others. There is a
! shaft on this mine 80 feet deep which taps
a strong ledge six feet vide of ore assaying
sis in gold. A small streak of ore in the
ledge assays $3.50 in gold and 81 per cent.
lead.
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 deep shaft was sunk and
some ore was extracted which was princi-
ply silver carrying but little gold.
Journeying TO the northwest the ledge
makes a turn more to the south. There are
{
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 so per
cent. lead, 3 ounces silver and - in gold.
The ledge is three feet wide at 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 III 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 hos been consider
able work done. On the former there is a
workings and shipped for reduction as
sayed $50 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 in the
vicinity shows vein two feet wide at d
| depth of 81 feet, which assays 80 per cent.
lead, Is ounces silver and $50 gold.

Returning to the Aultman mine the
GOLDEN FLEECE
Lies just to the east and adjoining the Ault-
man. 1t is the properly OF Th0s. Rockhill

Adjoining the Joana on the north and
east is the
FLORIDA

| The bottom of the shaft is at the foot wall
| OF the ledge. They then crosscut 50 feet
reaching the hanging wall, showing the
| ledge in The bottom to be 80 feet wide
| There Is also an open iissure that exposes
| the ledPe latterly for one hundred and fifty
| teet, The ore in these workings assay from
! 81 to $l3 per ton in gold. Two hundred feet
| to the north OF the shaft just described
[ there is another shaft in the croppinps of
! the ledge % leet 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
tunnels, one Of which is lis 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 sS.75 per
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
shaft Is feet deep in ore.
Journeying along the ledge to the east
number OF locations are passed which are

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
