SAYING. The ledye is very prominent and
crops out at several poi ntS 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

the Hill, belonging to Capt. Harmon and
Capt Carpenter, has a shaft 35 feet deep in
ore.

at which time deep shaft WAS sunk and
some or" Hyns extracted which was princi-

Journeying to the northwest the ledpe
makes turn more to the south. There ara
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

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 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
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
has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine ia the
vicinity shows a vein two feet wide at a
depth of 81 feet, which assays 50 per cent.
lead, Is ounces silver and $50 pold.

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 Cam 70 is ut the extreme northwest
end of the mineral belt and upon the sum
nit of the range.
Returning TO the Aultman mine the
GOLDEN FLEECE
Lies just to the east and adjoiuing the Ault-

The bottom of the shaft is at the foot wall
OF the ledge. They then crosscut 81 feet
reaching the hanging wall, showing the

There is also an open fssure that exposes
the ledpe latterly for one hundred and fifty
feet. The ore in these WORKINGS assay from
81 to $13 per ton in Pold. Two hundred feet
to the north OF the shaft lust described
there is another shaft in tine GROUPINGS Of
the ledge % ieet deep in which there is
eight feet of ore that assays 81 per ton in
gold. The lcdTe is traced through the full
length OF the Florida aud across the Daunt-
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 vet
