the incline has left the ore. the LEDGE con-
riuues To the bOttOm OF the shaft but is not
the same grade. Fifty tons of ore taken
from this shaft assayed $27 in gold to tAe
ton. The ore is the same in character as
the Gold Hill, does not show as much gold in
/ panning, but Is remarkably regulsr in as
saying. The ledee is very prominent and
crops out at several points on the mine:
There are e., 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 shaft
/ 20 feet deep, drift has been run 80 feet
from the bottom of the shaft which is all in
ore assaying 81 per ton in gold.
The Hickory, lying north of the He'll n
the Hill, belonging to Capt. Harmon and
Capt. Carpenter, has shaft 35 feet deep in
ore.
North Of the Gold Hill mine some dis
lance Is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
tions, owned by ID. G. Mcdonald. Jas. P. Nc
omie, j. b. Simpson aud others. There is
a strongln age six feet wide of ore assaying

lead
Easi 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 deep shaft was sunk and
some ore was extracted which was princi-
ply silver carrying but little gold.
Journeying to the northwest the ledeG
makes p 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 80 per
cent. lead, 3 ounces silver aud 81 in gold.
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 i'll character from
the mines already described some Of them
carrying, copper i'll 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 aud 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 silyer-lead ore
has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine il 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 and 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 West, all carrying copper and ores
worked for that metal The ore was re-
duced at local copper smelling furnace
and gave good results.
West Camp is at the extreme NORTH west
end of the mineral belt and upon the sum
nit of the range.
Returning to the Aultman mine the
GOLDEN FLEECE
Lies just to the east and adjoining the Ault-
man, 1t is the properly Of Thos. Rocknill
and the Ragsdale estate. The work con
sists of Two tunnels and shaft. The ore
assays 30 ounces silver aid $40 gUl..
South OF the Golden Fleece aud east Of the
Southern Cross, is the Golden West, bur lit
tie prospected and is owned by Williamson
d. Simpson.
North of the Golden Fleece is the Golden
Wedge, owned by Messrs. Thompson 4
Weber, which is also but little .prospecte6.
North OF the Golden "edoe ~ the Thor
oughored, belonging TO VIM. Watson anc.
others. 1t has shaft fifty feet deep whie.l
exposes goou ore. -
Adjoining the Joanna on the north and
cast is the
Group, the properly OF D. G. Mcdonald ard
John f. Cupid. The group Includes thy
extends across Robinson canyon to the
north. Upon the Florida in the middle Of
tie Robinson canyon, the owners 'saye sunk
d shaft 81 feet deep, they drifted north -
55 feet, making total depth of liz feet.
The bottom of the shaft is at the foot wall
of the ledge. They then crosscnt 30 feet
reaching the hanging wall, showing the
ledge in the bottom to be 30 feet wide.
There is also an open assure that EXPOSES
the ledge latterly for one hundred and fifty
feet. The ore in these workings assay from
81 to $13 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 25 feet deep in which there is
eight feet of ore that assays IS per ton in
gold. The ledge 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
the ledge; one is IS feet long emitting the
ledge. and one 80 feet which has not yet
reached the ledge. The ore assays Is per
ton and carries some copper.
Upon the east extension Of the Golden
Fleece is the Lone Star, the property of
Messrs. Hayes Il Berry, on which there is O
shaft IS feet deep in ore.
Journeylng along the ledge to the east a
number of locations are passed which are
but little prospected. At a distance Of one
and One-half miles the General Logan mine
islocated, the property of Messrs. House,
rs feet long and shaft 81 feet deep Oh the
claim which exposes ore assaying 81 per ton
South of the General Logan is the May
Day, the property OF Messrs House, Morris
and others. There is q tunnel on this mine
100 feet long and an incline in the tunnel 20
feet deep in ore that assays S. 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 south
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
