East of the Midnight a short distance is
the october location, the property of
Mcssrs 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 ledge
makes a turn more to the soutb. There are
locations most OF the way upon which some
prospecting has been lone which all she "
