the Gold Hill does not show as much gold III
panniHg, but is remarkably regular in as

crops out at several points on the mine:
There are number of other locations
upon Gold Hill. The principal ones are the

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, ounces silver and 81 in gold.
The ledge is three feet wide at a 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 i'll 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

Returning to the Aultman mine the
GOLDEN FLEECE
Lies just to the east and adjoining the Au,t-

South of the Golden Fleece and east Of the
Southern Cross, is the Golden West, but lit

Wedge, owned by Messrs. Thompson IL
Weber, which is also but little prospected.
There is some ore upon IL that shows gold.
North Of the Golden Wedge is the Thor
oughbred, belonging to VIM. Watson and
others. 1t has q shaft fifty feet deep which
exposes good ore.
Adjoining the Joanna on the north and

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

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 80 feet wide.
There is also an open assure that exposes
the ledpe latterly for one hundred &ui fifty
feet. The ore in these workings ass - from

there is another shaft in the crop lgs of
the ledge % teet deep in which re is

gold. The ledPe is traced tnrough iull
length of the Florida and across .t,e alnt-
less. Upon the Dauntless there ~ ,hree
tunnels, one of which is rs faeT hitting
the ledge; one is IS feet long outing the
ledge, and one 30 feet which has 2ot yet
reached the ledge. The ore ASA 1915 per
ton and carries some copper.
:, Upon the east extension of the Golden
Fleece is the Lone Star, the property of
Messrs. Hayes Il Berry, on which there is a
shaft IS feet deep in ore
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,
Morris, Hip and others. There is tunnel
IS feet long and a-shaft 81 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
1870 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 aud 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
