from this shaft assayed $27 in eold to tie
ton. The ore is the same in character as
the Gold Hill, does not show as much gold in
panning, but is remarkably regular in as
saying. 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-

East of the Midnight 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 deep shaft was sunk and
some ore was extracted which was princi-

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
