There are a number of other locations
upon Gold Hill. The principal ones are the
City of New York, owned by Messrs. Osti-

Eas, of the Midnight q short distance is
the october location. the property of
Mcssrs 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-

worked in the early seventies. The ore
found here is different III character from
the mines already described some of them
carrying copper in large quantities. The
principal mines of this vicinity are the

able work done. On the former there is a
shaft aud open cut. Ores taken from these
