the same grade Fifty tons of ore taken
from this shaft assayed $27 in gold to the
ton The ore is the same in character as
the Gold Hill,does not show as much gold in
panning, but is remarkably regular in as
saying. The ledge is very prominent and
| crops out at several points on the mine.
There are number of other locations
upon Gold Hill. The principal ones are the
CITY of New York, owned by Messrs. Osti-
gard. Moore and Weber. They have shaft
70 feet deep, drift has been run 80 feet
from the bottom of the shaft which is ali in
ore assaying 81 per ton in gold.
The Hickory, lying north of the He'll In
the Hill, belonging to Capt. Harmon and
Capt. Carpenter, has shaft 80 feet deep In
ore.
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis
tions. owned by D. C. Mcdonald. Jas. p Nc
Omie, J. B. Simpson and others. There is a
shaft on this mine 80 feet deep which taps
a strong ledge six feet wide of ore assaying
SIS in gold. small streak OF ore IN the
ledge assays $3.50 in gold and 81 per cent.
| lead.
East of the Midnight a 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
locations most of the way upon which some
| prospecting has been done which all show
! gold. At a 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 30 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 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 as
sayed $50 in silver and AZ per cent. lead.
The latter claim (Boss) has a deep shaft out
of which some high grade silver-lead ore
| has been extracted.
TIL, Ragsdale and Rockhill mine il the
vicinity shows a vein two feet wide at II
depth of 81 feet, which assays so 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 Monmouth, Monitor, Star and Star of
the West, all carrying copper and ores
worked for that metal. The ore was re-
duced at local copper smelling furnace
| and gave good results.
West Camp is at the extreme northwest
| end of the mineral bel. and upon the sum
| nit of the range.
Returning to the Aultman mine the
GOLDEN FLEECE
Lies just to the east and adjoining the Aut-
man. 1t is the properly OF Thos. ROckhill
| and the Ragsdale estate. The work con-
nf tXyn nd q @ uf hn Ara
| assays 80 ounce; silver and $40 gol6.
| South of the Golden Fleece and east Of the
| Southern Cross is the Golden West, but lit
tie prospected and is owned by Williamson
North of the Golden Fleece is the Golden
Wedge, owned by Messrs. Thompson L.
| Weber, which is also but little prosptctad.
There is some ore upon it that shows gold
North OF the Golden Wedge is the Tn n
oughbred, belonging to VIM. Watson aud
Others. 1t has shaft fifty feet deep which
| exposes good ore.
Adjoining the Joanna on the north and
east is the
FLORIDA
Group, the property of u. c. Mcdonald and
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
a shaft 81 feet deep, they drifted north %
! feet and sunk again at the end Of the drift
55 feet, making total depth of l42 feet
| The bottom OF the shaft is at the foot wall
| OF the ledge. They then crOsscut 81 feet
reaching the hanging wall, showing the
| ledge in the bottom to be 30 feet wide
| There is also an open fissure that exposes
| the ledPe latterly for one hundred and fifty
| feet. The ore in these workings assay from
81 to $l3 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 % feet 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 l15 feet cutting
ledge, and one so feet which has not yet
reached the ledge The ore assays 1915 per
| ton and carries some copper.
Upon the east exteusiOn Of the Golden
Fleece is the Lone Star, the property of
| Messrs. Hayes d Berry, on which there is a
shaft Is feet deep in ore.
Journeying along the ledge to the east a
number of locations are passed which are
! but little prospeCted. At a distance of one
and one-half miles the General Lopan mine
Morris, Hip and others. There is tunnel
IS feet long. and shaft sc feet deep on the
claim which exposes ore assaying 81 per ton.
South of the General LOGAN is the May
Day, the property OF Messrs. House, Morris
and others. There is q tunnel on this mine
100 feet long and an incline in the tunnel 20
feet deep in ore that assays S. per ton in
| gold and 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 and are about
| one mile west OF the town of Eiy
! 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
