About $50 tons of this ore is extracted 49,.
upon the dump at the mine. soms an. ana
mates show thousand tons in sight H-
Passing along the ledge to the west ~,
merous locations are seen. The Blacfstonua
Ohio and Union, carrying gold, silver onSf
lead, are the property of Governor McR;nu
ley and others. All have work unon I'LL.
and expose considerable ore. 'nN
North of the last named mines are tho
Rip Van Wrinkle and Edna, owned h no
Messrs. Simpson, Lyons and McOmie. Tha.s
mines have shafts and open cuts unnr
them, the greatest depth attained being Ok
feet. The Rip Van Wrinkle ore carries roIT
and silver about equal. The Edna ore as
says from S. to $50 in free gold.
South of the Union aud ONO is the Cloud
and the Gold Bug. The latter is owned by
Messrs. Weber and Disregard, in which
qu:e a body of $40 ore is found.
West of the Ohio is the Great Western the
property of Messrs. Hip, Wren and Others.
The works aggregate 400 feet and some
good ore is exposed.
West of the Great Western lies the Com
mOdore, Issacs, Hicks, Eliza, Bullion and
Springville the property of Governor Nc
Kinley and others. These mines were all
worked in early days and produced most Of
the bullion at that time. The ore was sill
yer, gold and lead.
Crossing Robinson canyon again to the
south are number Of mtres located upon
nigh mountain lying between Robinson
canyon and u 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, Point,
Sheba and Chief, belonging to Messrs. Hip,
Wren and others, and some locations be-
longing to John Farrell. There has been q
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
diGf.n tC kh...
and Kind of Eureka, known as the Key
stone, from which d 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 q lot of this ore reduced q
the Monitor mill, Steptoe creek, and an
other lot was reduced at the Chairman mill
Afterward the parties owning the property
erected a mill at the mine and reduced
some of the ore. The process they employed
was the lixivation process to which the ore
readily yielded. The mine is still in good
condition to produce. Owing to the pres
ent low price of silver the owners deem it
best to await a change.
In addition to the lode claims there are
within the limits of the District
PLACER MINES
About one-fourth of Il mile from the town
of Ely in the mouth of Robinson canyon
The Robinson Canyon Consolidated Mining
Company has located about 10000 feet OF
ground extending up the canyon to point
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. It is coarse and easily saved in az
ordinary Slulce box, which metI.Jd is used
by the Company in the spring OF the year,
when there is surface water running GOWN
the canyon. Several runs have been made
w &c 1ny
ing to, put in dry separators, when they ex
pect the property will be mace fr4y.
The Maud s. placer cla'ast s,1joins the
property last described, and ends I'D the
canyon and includes TWEEN acres within
its boundaries. 1t is own hyJ b. Will

erty of the Robinson Canyo. Consolidated

1t will be seen from the abe 70 Gese riDtiou

There are many locations III ti1e district
that have not beeu mentionet 10 tnIs arti-
Gle. However sufficient aun.her has
been, to give the reader gelsf;t1 i,iea of
its magnitude.
Nature has done her part fer the success
of the camp. The ore is very soft, most OF
1t can be mined without blnstiag ttlereby
saving great expense. Thard are numer-
Gus springs in the district tnat cAn hv used
at the mines. and ut tire town OF Nly there
is Il large stream of pure W ater that is not
effected by frost or by hot azid C:r: sc .txons.
The hills are covered with an abundance oS
timber, suitable for mininp aud fnei Good
wagon roads are built to oil portions of the
district, aud all the mines are easy of a.
