/ the same grade. Fifty tons of ore taken
from this shaft assayed $27 in gold to t1e
ton. The ore is the same in character as
the Gold Hill, does not show as much gold in
painting, but is remarkably regular in as
saying. The ledge is very prominent and
/ crops out at several points on the mine.
There are a 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
! 70 feet deep, drift has been run 80 feet

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 shaft 50 feet deep in
ore.
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis

tons, owned by D. C. Mcdonald Jas. P. Nc

WEST CAMP
Mines are reached. These mines were
worked in the early seventies. The ore
| found here is different i'll character from
the mines already described, some of them
carrying copper III large quantities. The
principal mines of this vicinity are the
Boulder and Boss, the property of 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 AZ per cent. lead.
The latter claim (Boss) has deep shaft out
| of which some high grade silver-lead ore
has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine l. the
vicinity shows vein 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;
ti'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 bell and upon the sum
nit of the range.
Returning to the Aultman mine the
GOLDEN FLEECE
Lies Just to the east and adjoining the Ault-
man. 1t is the proper ~ of Thos. Rockhill
aud the Ragsdale estate. The Nor cou-
sists of two tunnels and shaft. tle ore
assays 80 ounce silver aud so golt.
South of the Golden Fleece and east Of the
Southern Cross, is the Golden West but lit
tie prospected and is owned by Williamson
d Simpson
North OF the Golden Fleece is the Golden
Welge, owned by Messrs Thompson IL
Weber, which is also but little prospccted.
There is some ore upon it that shows gold
North OF the Golden Wedre is the Thor
oughbred, belonging to Vim. Watson and
others 1t has shaft fifty feet deep which
exposes good ore
Adjoining the Joanna on the north and
east is the
FLORIDA
Group, the property of ID. G. Mcdonald and
John f. Cupid. The group includes the
Florida, Da1ntless and Quadrant, which
extends across Robinson canyon to the
north. Upon the Florida in the middle OF
the Robinson canyon the owners have sunk
o shaft 81 feet deep, they drifted north %
feet and sunk again at the end of the drift
SIS feet, making u total depth of 142 feet.
The bottom OF the shaft is at the foot wall
of the ledge. They then crosscut 80 feet
reaching the hanging wall, showing the
ledge in the bottom to be 80 feet wide.
There is d so an open assure that exposes
the ledge atterly for one hundred and fifty
feet The ore in these workings assay from
81 to $l3 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 Is feet deep in which there is
eight feet of ore that assays s. 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 lbs feet cutting
the ledge; one is IS feet long cutting the
ledge. and one 80 feet which has not yet
reached the ledge. The ore assays 1915 per
ton and carries some copper.
Upon the east extension of the Golden
Fleece is the Lone Star, the property of
Messrs. Hayes Il Berry, on which there is a
shaft 10 feet deep in ore.
Journeying along the ledge to the east q
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 q tunnel
IS feet long and Shaft &c 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 a tunnel on this mine
100 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 che mineral belt and are about
one mile West Of the town of Ely.
One mile mp Robinson canyon from the
town of Ely, and upon the north side of the
canyon is Maggie bill, 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.
