sa6 All have work upohlthSm
siderable ore.
last named mines are the
kle and Edna, owned by
n,Lyons and McOmie. These
1afts and open cuts upon
test depth attained being 3
feet. ThS'R1p Van Wrinkle ore carries gold
and silver about equal. The Edna ore as
says from IS to $50 in free gold.
South of the Union and Ohio is the Cloud
and the Gold Bug. The latter is owned by
quie body of $40 ore is found.
West of the Ohio is the Great WesternthS
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
epringville, 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 wass il-
yer, gold and lead.
Crossing Robinson canyon again to the
south are number of mines located upon
high mountain lying between Robinson
canyon and large canyon coming into
Robinson canyon from the south, known ~
the canyon th Leading Hi1sd to White River Here
to Mcdonald and Cupid; the Ontario, Poin:,
Sheba and Chief, belonging to Messrs Hip.
Wren and others, and some locations be-
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 th. IS mountain about two miles
distant is the property of Messrs. Jackson
and Kind of Eureka, known as the Key
Stone, from which a large quantity of ore
has been extracted and reduced. 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 lot of this ore reduced "a
the Monitor mill, Steptoe creek, and al
other lot was reduced at the Chainmau mill
Afterward the parties owning the property
erected mill at the mine and reduce
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
best to await change.
In addition to the lo9e claims there are
within the limits of the District
PLACER Mines
About ne-fourth of q mile from the town
of Ely in the mouth of Robinson canyon
Tae Robinson Canyon Consolidated Mining
Company has located about 10000 feet O
ground extending up the canyon to poiu
placer ground. The property Is worked
through shnfts--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 fou2d which carriss
gold 1t is coarse and easily saved in Az
ordinary slnce box, which method is used

WncI tAci0 Is SurIaCC water running down
the canyon. Several runs have been mais%
in this way. The Company is now arralx
ing to put in dry separarors, when they sx.
pect the property viii be made pay.
The Maud 8. placer claim Adjoins the
property last described, and extends up the
canyon and includes twenty acres within
it's boundaries. 1t is owned by j. b. Will
Hanson and in all respects is like the prop
erty OF the Robinson Canyon Consolidated
Placer Mining Company.
1t will be seen from the above description
that the mineral De.t extends from thc MAY
Day mine on the south east, end to the
mines AT West Camp on the nortll-west end,
covering Il distance of about eight miles in
length. The width OF the belt variAs some
At places it is fully mile wide, ana aEsMo
place IS it less than half mile Mineral
can be found on all po-tions OF the belt.
There are many locations in the district
that have not been mentioned in this arti-
Gle. However q sufficient number has
been, to give the reader o general idea Of
It's magnitude.
Nature has done her part for the success
of the camp. The ore is very soft. most O.
it can be mined without blasting, thercby
saving great expense. There are numer-
Gus springs in the district that can be usc:s
at the mines. and at the town of Ely thera
is large stream of pure water that is not
effected by frost or by hot and dry seasons
The hills are covered with an abundance cf
timber, suitable for mining and fuel. Coed
wagon roads are built to all portions of ths
district, and all the mines are easy Of ac-
cess. All that is required for live ana
booming camp is money, and he who in-
vests will reap the reward.
