from this shaft assayed $27 in pold To tie
! tot The ore is the same in character ~
| the Gold Hin does not show as much gold in
! pauniug, but IS remarkably regular in as
] saying. The ledPe il 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-
| pard, Moore and Weber. They have shaft
| 70 feet deep, drift has been run 30 feet
from the bottom OF the shaft which is all in
ore asSaying 81 per ton in gold.
The Hickory, living north of the He'll i'll
| the Hill, BELONGING to Capt Harmon and
Capt Carpenter, has shaft 30 feet deep in
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis
lance is the Midnight aud Phoenix loca-
tior 5, owned by d. G. Mcdonald. Jas. p. Me
Omie, J. B. Simpson and others. There Is q
shaft on this mine 80 feet deep which taps
strong ledge six feet wide of ore assaying
SIS in gold. A 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 4 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 q 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, 8 ounces silver and 81 in gold.
The ledge is three feet wide at depth of
40 feet. Two miles west of the Magma Char
| ter the
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
! 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 silVer-lead ore
| has been extracted.
| The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine ii the
/! vicinity shows vein two feet wide at a
| depth of 81 feet, which assays so per cent.
| lead, IL ounces silver and $50 gold
| Messrs. Hip, Wren aud 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
| ana gave gOOu 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 10 the east and adjoining the Ault-
man. 1t is the properly of Thos. Rockhill
| aud the Ragsdale estate. The work con
sists of two tunnels and a shaft. The ore
assays 30 ounce silver and $40 gol1.
South of the Golden Fleace and east ot the
Southern Cross, is the Golden West. but lit
tie prospected and is owned by Williamson
" Simpson.
North of the Golden Fleece is the Golden
| Wedge, owned by Mes:rs. Thompson "
| Weber, which is also hut little prespected
[ There is some ore upon it that shows sold.
| North of the Golden w edge is the thor
| ourhbred. belonging to VIM. Watson and
others. 1t has It shaft fifty feet deep which
! exposes good ore.
! Adjoining the Joanna on the north and
east is the
FLORIDA
Group, the properly Of D. G. Mcdonald and
! John f. CUPID. The gre 10 Includes the
| florida, Dauntless and Quadrant, which
extends across Robinson canyon to the
north. Upon the Florida in the middle Of
the Robinson canyon, tbs owners have sunk
shaft 81 feet deep, they drifted MOTT %
| feet and sunk again at the end of the drift
| 80 feet, making total depth Of l42 feet.
The bottom of the shaft is at the foot wall
of the ledge. They then crosscut 30 feet
reaching the hanging wall, showing the
ledge in the bottom to be 80 feet wide.
| There is also an open fssure that exposes
| the ledge 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 Is 1eet 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
ledge and one 30 feet which has not yet
reached the ledge. The ore assays $S.75 per
ton and carries some copper
Upon the east extension Of the Golden
Fleece is the Lone Star, the property of
Messrs Hayes u 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,
Morris Hip and others There is a 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, Norris |
and others. There is a tunnel on this niue
100 feet long and an incline in the tunnel 20
feet deep in ore that assays Sc 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 sonth- |
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
