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-
Pard. Moore and Weber. They have a shaft
20 feet deep, drift has been run 80 feet
from the bottom OF the shat. 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
CapG. Carpenter, has shaft 35 feet deep in
ore.
uance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
tions, owned by d. G. Mcdonald. Jas. p Nc

East of the Midnight short distance is
the october location, the property of
was worked in the early days of Robinson
at which time adeep shaft was sunk and
some ore was extracted which was princi-
ply silver carrying but little gold.
Journeying to the northwest the ledge
makes a turn more to the south. There are
locations most OF the way upon which some
prospecting has been lone which all she

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 ole uns about 30 per
cent. lead, 3 ounces silver and - 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 III charac ter from
the mines already described, some Of them
carrying copper in large quantities. The
principal mines of this vicinity are the
Boulder aud Boss, the property CT John
DAILY, upon which there has been consider
able work done. On the former there is
shaft and open cut. Ores taken from these
workings and shipped for reduction as
sayed $50 in silver and IL 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 VEN two feet wide at
depth of 81 feet, which assays so per cent.
lead, Is 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 aud lead:
the Mammouth, Monitor, Star and Star OF
the West, all carrying copper and ores
worked for that metal. The o1e was re-
duced at q local copper smelling furnace
and gave good results.
West Camp is at the extreme nOrth-wes
end of the mineral bel and upon the sum
nit Of the range.
Returning to the Aultman mine the
GOLDEN FLEECE
Lies Just to the east and adjoining the Anl'-
man. 1t is the properly OF Th0s. Rockhill
aud the Ra9sdaie estate. The or eUu-
sistS of two tunnels and shaft. nc ore
assays 80 ounce silver 9nd $40 goit.
South of the Golden Fleece and east of the
Southern Cross, is The Golden West, hut lit
tie prospected and is owned by Williamson
Il Simpson.
North OF the Golden Fleece is the Golden
Wedge, owned by MessrS. Thompson X
Weber, which is also but little pro 5pccted
There IS some ore upon it taat shows gold.
North Of the Golden WEDGE is the Thor
oughbred, belonging to Win watson and
others. 1t has a shaft Gfty feet deep which
exposes good ore
Adjoining the Joana on the north and
east is the
FLORIDA
Group, the property OF d. c. Mcdonald and
John +. Cupid. The group includes the
Florida, Dauutlesa and Quadrant, wnich
extends across Robinson canyon to the
north. Upon the Florida in the middle of
the Robinson canyon, the owners have sunk
a shaft 81 feet deep, taey drifted north -
feet and sunk again vt the end of the drift
81 feet, MAKING. total depth of 142 feet.
The bottom Of the shaft is at the foot wall
reaching the hanging wall, showing the
ledge in the bottom to be 80 feet wide.
There is also an open fisSure that exposes
the ledge latterly for one hundred and fifty
feet. The ore in these workings assay from
81 to SIS 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 % feet deep in which there is
eight feet of ore that assays 70 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 l15 feet cutting
ledge and one so feet which has not yet
reached the ledge. The ore assays S.. rs per
ton and carries some copper.
Upon the east extension Of the Golden
Fleece Is the Lone Star, the property of
Messrs. Hayes d; Berry, on which there is a
shaft 10 feet deep in ore.
JOurncying along the ledge to the east
number OF locations are passed which are
but little. prospected. AT a distance of one
and one-half miles the General Logan mine
Is located, the property of Messrs. House,
Morris, Hip and others. There is tunnel
10 feet long and snaft sc feet deep on the
claim which exposes ore assaying 81 per ton.
South of the General Logan is the May

and others. Thee is tunnel on this inc
100 feet long and an incline in the tunnel 20
feet deep in ore that assays So 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
up. The principal mines on this hill are
