the same Prade. Fifty tons of ore taken
from this shaft assayed $27 in pold to tie
ton. The ore is the same in character as
the Gold Hill, docs 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-
gard. Moore and Weber. They have shaft
10 feet deer, drift has been run 80 feet
from the bottom of the shaft which is all in
ore assayinc 81 per ton in gold.
The Hickory. lying north OF the He'll n
the HILL belonging to Capt Harmon aud
Capt. Carpenter, has shaft 35 feet deep in
ore.
North OF the Gold Hill mine some dis
tapce is the Midnieht and Phoenix lOca-
tions, owned by D. G. Nc Donald. Jas. p. Me-
Omie, J. b. Simpson and others. There is a
shaft on this mine 90 feet deep which taps

Eas Of the Midnight short distance is
the october location, the property OF
Mcssrs Simpson and Rynearson. The mine
was worked in the early days Of Robinson
ut which time deep shaft WAS sunk and
some ore was extracted which was prinoi-
ply silver carrying but little gold.
JOurneying to the northwest the ledge
makes n turn more to the south. There are
locations most of the way upon which some
prospecting has been done which all snow
gold. At q 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, 8 ounces silver and 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 in character from
the mines already described, some of them
carrying copper in large quantities. The
principal mines of this vicinity are the
DAILY, upon which there has been consider
able work done. On the former there is n
shaft and open cut. Ores taken from these
workings and shipped for reduction as
The latter claim (Boss) has deep shaft out
of which some high grade silver-lead ore
has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine IL the
vicinity. shows vein two feet wide at
depth of 81 feet, which assays 80 per cent.
lead, Is ounces silver and $50 gold.
Messrs. Hip, Wren and others own seve-
raj mines in this locality, the principa;
ones being the Pilot Knob, carrying gold
the Emma, carrying gold, silver and lead:
the Mammouth Monitor. Star and Star of
the West, all carrying copper and ores
worked for that metal. The ore was re-
duced at a local copper smelling furnace
and gave good results.
West Camp is at the extreme northwest
end Of the mineral belt and upon the sum
nit of the ranpe.

The bottom of the shaft is at the foot wall
of the ledge. They then cr0sscut 80 fee;
reaching the hanging wall, showing the
ledge in the bottom to be 80 feet wide
There ia also an open assure that exposes
the ledge latterly for one hundred and fifty
feet. The ore in these workings assay from
81 to S13 per ton in gold. Two hundred feet
to the north OF the shaft lust described
there is another shaft in the groupings OF

length Of the Florida and across the Daunt-
less. Upon the DauntIess there are three
tunnels, one of which is I15 feet cutting
the ledge; one is IS feet long cutting the
ledge, and one 30 feet which has not yet
reached the ledge The ore assays $S75 per
ton and carries some copper.
Upon the east extension Of the Golden
Fleece IL the Lone Star, the property Of
Messrs Hayes Il Berry on which there is n
shaft Is feet deep in ore.
Journeying along the ledge to the east
but little prospected. At distance of one
and half miles the General Logan mine
is located, the property Of Messrs. House,
Morris, Hip and others. There Is a tunnel
rs feet long and shaft &c feet deep on the
claim which exposes ore ass&ying 81 per ton.
South of the General Logan is the May
Day, the property OF Messrs. House, Morris
and others. There is tunnel on this mine
l20 feet long and an incline in the tunnel 20
feet deep in ore that assays Sc 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 frofa 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
up. The principal mines on this hill are
the Mohee group and the Maggie group.
