There was also lot of this ore reduced
the Monitor mill, Steptoe creek and an
othar lotWas reduced at the Chairman mill
AtterWard the parties owning the property
erected mill at the mine and reduced
some OF the ore The process they employed

PLACER MINES
About ne-fourth of mile from the town
OF Ely in the mouth of Robinson CANYON
The Robinson Canyon Consolidated Mining
Company has located about 10000 feet
ground extending up the canyon To a poin

placer ground. The property is worked
through shafts--six in nulnoer. 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. 1t is coarse and easily saved in an
ordinary sluice box, which method is used
by the Company in the spiing OF the year
when there is surface water running down
The canyon. Several runs have Deen made
ii this way The Company is now ar-&ng,-

Eata1e has done her part for the success

i can e mined without blasting thereby
saving Prs3t expense. There are numer-

Al the mines. and at the town OF Ely there
Is a large stream OF pure water that is not
effected by frost or by hot and dry seasons.
The nils are covered with an abundance of
timber. suitable for mining and fuel. Good
WAGON roads are built to all portions Of tho
district, and all the mines are easy Of &C
