iron, mis- sha 4ssayed $27 in gold to the
tou 1he or. is Inc same in character as
the cole M.ll,d as not show as much gold in
pannht, but is remarkably regular in as
saving The LEDGE is very prominent and
Gro ps 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 lIoore and Weber. They have a shaft
70 feet deep, drift has been run 80 feet
from the bottom of the shat. which is all in
ore assaying 81 per ton in gold.
The Hickory, lying north OF the He'll in
the Hill, be1onpinq to Capt. Harmon and
capt Carpenter, has IL shaft 30 feet deep in
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
tions, owned by D. c. Mcdonald. Jas. P. Nc
Omie. J. B. Simpson and others. There is
shaft on this mine so feet deep which taps
strong ledge six feet wide of ore assaying
SIS in gold A small streak of ore in the
leage assays $3.50 in gold and 81 per cent
aas OF the Midnight a short distance is
the October location, the property of
Messrl SIM pson and Rynearson. The mine
was worked in the early days of Robinson
at W.A1cl. time u deep shalt was sunk ana
some ore was extracted which was princi-
ply silver carrying but little gold.
| Journe wing to the northwest the ledge
makes d turn more to the south. There are
| locations most of the way upon which some
prospecting has been done which all show
| gold. A 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 80 per
cent lead, 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 deep shaft out
| of which some high grade siiyer-lead ore
| has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine ia the
i vicinity shows vein two feet wide at
depth of 81 feet, which assays 80 per cent.
| lead, Is ounces silver and 500 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 q 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 ranpe.
| Returning to the Aultman niue the
| GOLDEN FLEECE
| Lies just to the east and adjoining the Ault-
man. 1t is the properly Of Thos. Rockhill
/ and the Ragsdale estate The work con
| sists of two tunnels and a shaft. The ore
assays 30 ounce silver and $40 golf.
South of the Golden Fleece and east of the
Southern Cross, is the Golden West, but lii
| tie prospected and is owned by Williamson
| q Simpson.
North of the Golden Fleece is the Golden
| Wedge, owned by Messrs Thompson d
! Weber, which is also but little prospected
There is some ore upon it that shows gold.
| North of the Golden Wedpe is the Thor
| oughbred, belonging to VIM. Watson and
others. II has shaft fifty feet deep which
| exposes good ore.
Adjoining the Joanna on the north and
! east is the
Group, the property of D. G. 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
shaft 81 feet deep, they drifted north %
feet and sunk again at the end of the drift
| So feet, making total depth of l42 feet.
The bottom Of the shaft is at the foot wall
of the ledge. They then crosscut 80 feet
reaching the hanging wall, showing the
ledge in the bottom to be so feet wide.
| There is also an open assure that exposes
| the ledge latterly for one hundred and fifty
| feet. The ore in these workings assay from
81 to $13 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 So per ton in
| gold. The ledpe 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 66 feet long cutting the
ledge and one 30 feet which has not yet
reached the ledge. The ore assays s.. rs per
ton and carries some copper.
| Upon the east extension 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
| number OF locations are passed which are
but little prospected At distance of one
| and one half miles the General Logan mine
| is located, the property of Messrs House,
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 tunnel on this mine
| 100 feet long and an incline in the tunnel 20
feet deep in ore that assays SIS 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 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
the Mohee group and the Maggie group.
