Passing along the ledge to thewest I'D
merous locations are seen. The Blackstone
Ohio and Union, carrying gold, silver enc
ley and others. All have work upon then
and expose considerable ore.
North OF the Last named mines are the
Rip Van Wrinkle and Edna, owned By

Crossing Robinson CANYON again to the
south are number of mines located upon
a high mountain lying between Robinson
canyon and u large canyon coming into
Robinson capy on from the south known as

to Mcdonald and Cupid the Ontario. PoinS
Sheba and Chief, belonging to Messrs Hilp

longing to John Farrell. There has been :
large amount of work done upon thia
mountain and several shipments of ore
have been extracted. The ore is silver, gold
and Iced. ~
West from tbs mountain about two miles
distant Is the property of Messrs. Jackson
and Kind of Eureka, known as the Key
stone, from which a large quantity OF ore
has been extracted and reduced. A num-
Der OF shipments were sent to the Eureka
furnaces for treatment which yielded about
two hund ed dollars per ton in silver
There was also lot of this ore reduced .
the Monitor mill, Steptoe creek, and an
othar lot was reduced at the Chairman mill
AfterWard the parties owning the property
erected a mill at the mine and reduce i
some OF the ore The process they employed
readily yielded The mine is still in rood
condition to produce. Owing to the pres.
ent low price of silver the owners deem
best to await a change
In addition to the lode claims there are
within the limits of the District
PLACER MINES
About one-fourth of mile from the town
of Ely in the mouth of Robinson canyon
The Robinson Canyon Consolida ted Mirinr
Company has located about 10000 feet o
ground extending up the canyon to pOin
above the Joanna mine, which is located as
placer ground. The property is worked
through shafts-six in number The bed
rock is found at an average depth of sew
enty feet. On the bed rcck from two to
eight feet OF gravel is found which carries
gold. 1t IS coarse and easily saved in az
ordinary sluice box, which method Is used
by the Company in the spring of the year,
when there is surface water running down
the canyon. Several runs have been made
in this way. The Company is now arrang
ing to put in dry separations when they Nx.
pect the property win be made pay.
the Maud 3 placer claim adjoins the
property list described, and extends up the
canyon and Includes twenty acres within
its boundaries. It is owned by j. B. will
hanson aEd in all respects is like the prop.
erty of ths Robinson Canyon Consolidated
Placer Mining Company
1t will be Seen from tine above description
that the mineral belt extends from the May
Day mine on IL southeast end to The
covering II distance of about eight miles In
length The Width Of the belt varies some.
At places it Is fully d mile wide, and at no
place Is it less than Il half mile. Mineral
can be found on all portions OF the belt.
There are many locations in the district
that have not been mentioned in this arti-
Gle. However sufficient number has
been, to give the reader a general idea Of
its magnitude.
Nature has doue her part for the success
of the camp. The ore is very soft, most OF
it can be mined without blasting, thereby
saving great expense. There are numeR.
Gus springs in the district that can be used
at the mines, and at the town of Ely there
effected by frost or by hot and dry seasons.
The hills are covered with an abundance Of
timber, suitable for mining and fuel. Good
wagon roads are built to all portions Of the
district, and all the mines are easy Of &C.
cess. All that is required for live and
booming camp is money, and he who in.
vests will reap the reward
