There are q number of other locations
upon Gold Hill. The principal ones are the
City of New York, owned by Messrs. Osti-

East of the Midnight short distance is
the October location, the property of
Messrs Simpson and Rynearson. The mine
at which time deep shaft was sunk and
some ore was extracted which was princi-

found here is different i'll charac ter 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 q
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 (B6ss) has deep shaft out
of which some high grade silyer-lead ore
has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine il the

Adjoining the Joanna Oh the north and

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 so feet wide.
There is also an open tissure 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 the Groupings OF
the ledge % feet deep in which there is
eight feet of ore that assays So 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 I15 feet cutting
the ledge; one is 6S feet long cutting the
ledge, and one 80 feet which has not yet
reached the ledge. The ore assays So. rs 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 Is feet deep in ore.
Journeying along the ledge to the east
number of locations are passed which are
but little prospected. Al distance of one
