the Gold Hill does not show as mueh golu IN
panning, but is remarkably regular in as
! saving. 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 Il shaft
20 feet deep, a drift has been run so feet
from the bottom OF the shaft which is Ill in
ore assaying s. per ton in gold.
The Hickory living north of the He'll in
the Hill, belonging to Capt. Harmon and
Capt. Carpenter, has shaft 80 feet deep III
ore.
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loea-
tions. owned by d. c. Mcdonald. JAS p. Me
Ome, j. B. Simpson and others. There is a
shaft on this mine 90 feet deep which taps

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
st which time deep shalt was sunk ana
some ore was extracted which was princi-
ply silver carrying but little gold.
Journeying to the northwest the ledpe
makes turn more to the south There are
locations most OF the way upon which some
prospecting has been done which all snow
gold. At a distance OF ABOUT two miles tht
Magma Charter is reached, the property 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, 3ounces silver and y in POld.
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 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 fofmer there is d
shaft and open cut. Ores taken from these
workings aud shipped Tor reduction as
sayed $50 in silver aud A per cent. lead.
The latter claim (Boss) has deep shaft out
of which some nigh grade silyerlead ore
has been extracted.

vicinity shows "a vein two feet wide at II
depth of 81 feet, which assays 50 per cent.
