Crossing Robinson canyon again to the
south are number of mines located upon
high mountain lying between Robinson
canyon and large canyon coming into
Robinson canyon from the south, known as
the canyon leading to White River. Here
are found the Hidden Treasure, belonging
to Mcdonald and Cupid; the Ontario, PoinS

large amount OF work done upon this
mountain and several shipments of ore
have been extracted. The ore is silver gold
and lead.
West from this mountain about two miles
distant is the property of Messrs. Jackson

Stone, from which large quantity of ore
has been extracted and reduced. A num-
Der OF shipments were sent to the Eureka
furnaces for treatment which yielded about
two hund ed dollars per ton in silver
There was also lot of this ore reduced
the Monitor mill, Steptoe creek and an
other lot was reduced at the Chairman mill
Aiterward the parties owning the property
erected mill at the mine and reduced
some OF the ore: The process they employed
vas the lixivation process to which the ore
fead1iy Yielded. The mine is still in good
tondition to produce. Owing to the pres

pest to await change

PLACER MINES
About one-fourth of a 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 poin
above the Joana mine, which is located as
placer ground. The property is worked
through shafts--six in number. 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 au
ordinary sluice box, which method is used
by the Company IN the spring of the year,
when there is surface water running down
the canyon. Several runs have been made
in this way. The Company Is now arrnns-
lug to put in dry separAtoTs, when they sx.
pect the property will be made pay.
The Maud S. placer claim adjoins tins
property LIST described, and extends up tho
canyon and includes twenty acres withi,,
It's boundaries. It is owned by D. b. wild
hanson ana In all respects is like the prop

1t Will be seen from the above description
mat the mineral belt extends from the May
mines at West Camp on the northwest end.
covering distance of about eight miles in
length. the width of the belt varies some.
At places 1T is fully mile wide, aud at NO
place Is 1t less than Il half mile Mineral
can be found on all portions Of the belt
There are many locations in the district
that have not been mentioned in t:,is &rtl.
cle however sufficient number has
been, to give the reader general idea OF
its magnitude
Nature has done her part for the success
OF the camp: The ore is very SOFT, most of
IT. can be mined without blasting, thereby
saving great expense. There are numer-
Gus springs in the district that can be used
at the mines, and at the town of Ely there
is a large stream of pure water that is not
enected by frost or by hot and dry seMsons
The hills are covered with an Abundance Of
timber, suitable for mining and fuel Good
wagon roads are built to all portions Of the
district and all the mines are easy Of az
cess. All that is required for a 1--we aud
booming camp is money, and he who in
vests will reap the reward.
