tinues 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 the
ton. The ore is the same in character as
the Gold Hill does not show as much gold In
panninP, but is remarkably regular in as
saying. The ledge is very prominent and
crops out at several points on the mine.
There ara 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 SHIFT So feet deep in
ore.
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
lions, owned by d. G. Me Donald. Jas. P. Nc
Omie, ]. b. Simpson and others. There is a
shaft on this mine 30 feet deep which taps
a strongl.' 'ge six feet wide of ore assaying
ledge ASA. 50 in gold and 81 per cent
lead.
Eas, 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 ledpe
makes 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 30 per
cent: lead, 3 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
Boulder and Boss, the property of John
DAILY, upon which there has been consider
shaft and open cut. Ores taken from these
workings and shipped for reduction as
sayed $50 in silver and ~ per cent lead.
The latter claim (Boss) has deep shaft out
OF which some high grade silyer-lcad ore
has been extracted.
TIL. Ragsdale and Rockhill mine il the
vicinity shows vein two feet wide at
depth of 81 feet, which assays 50 per cent.
lead, Is ounces silver and 500 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 Monmouth, Monitor, Star and Star of
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 northwest
end of the mineral belt and upon the sum-
NIT of the range.
Returning to the Aultman niue the
GOLDEN FLEECE
Lies just to the east and adjoining the A ult-
man. 1t is the properly of Thos Rockhill
and the Ragsdale estate. The work con-
sists of two tunnels and a shaft The ore
assays 30 ounces silver and $40 gol'
South of the Golden Fleece and east of the
Southern Cross, is the Golden West, but lit
tie prospected and is owned by Williamson
& Simpson.
North of the Golden Fleece is the Golden
Wedge, owned by Messrs. Thompson 4
Weber, which is also but little prospectei.
There is some ore upon il that shows gold.
North of the Golden Wetipe is the Thor
Ouphbred, belonging to VIM, Watson and
others. 1t has shaft fifty feet deep which
exposes good ore.
AdjoiLing the Joanna on tie north and
east is the
Group, the property OF b. G, MCDONALD and
John +. Cupid. The group includes the
Florida, Dalntless and Quadrant which
extends across Robinson canyon to thu
north. Upon The Florida in the middle OF
the Robinson canyon, the owners hayesunk
shaft 81 feet deep, they drifted moth %
feet and sunk again at the end of the drift
% feet, making total depth of l42 feet.
The bottom of the shaft is Mt the foot wall
of the ledge. They then cIosscut 81 feet
reaching the hanping wall, showing the
ledge in the bottom to be 30 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 $13 per ton in gold. Two hundred feet
to the north OF the shaft lust described
there is another shaft in tine cropplngs of
the ledge % feet deep in which there is
eight feet of ore that assays S. per ton in
gold. The ledpe is traced through the full
length of the Florida and across the Dauut-
less. Upon the Dauntless there are three
tunnels, one of which is i15 feet cutting
the ledge; one is IS feet long cutting the
ledge, and one 80 feet which has not yet
reached the ledge. The orc assays s.. IS per
ton and carries some copper.
Upon the east extension of the Golden
Fleece is the Lone Star, the property of
Messrs. Hayes Berry, on which there is
shaft Is feet deep in ore.
Journeying along the ledge to the east
number OF locations are passed which are
but little prospected. At 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
IS feet long and shaft 81 feet deep on 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 u tunnel on this mine
40 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 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
the Mohee group and the Maggie group.
