ton. The ore Is the same in character as
the Gold Hill, does not show as much gold in
panning, but Is remarkably regular in as
saying. The ledge is Very prominent and
crops out at several points on the mine.
There are number of other locations
upon Gold Hill. The principal ones are the
City, OF New Yo,k, owned by Messrs. osti-
20 feet deep, drift has been run 30 feet
from the bottom of the shaft which is all in
ore assaying 81 per ton in gold.
Tie Hickory. lying north of the He'll n
the Hill, belonPing to Capt. Harmon and
Capt Carpenter, has shaft IS feet deep in
ore.
North Of the Gold Hill mine some dis.
lance is the Midnlrht aud Phoenix loca-
tions, owned by b. {. Mcdonald. Jas. z. Me-
Omie, j. 3. Simp and others. There is a
shaft on this mine 30 feet deep which taps

E"s of the NIiduight short distance ls
the October location, the property OF
Messra Simpson and kynearson. The mine
was orked in the early days of Robinson
at which time deep shaft WAS sunk nnI
some ore was extracted which WAS p.inci-
ply silver carrying but little gold.
Journey ing to the northwest the ledge
makes u turn more to the south. There are
locations most OF the way upon which some
gold. At a distance of about two miles the
Magma Charter is reached, the property of
Thos. Rockhi1l and others The ore is of
an entire different character, resembling
lead and gold. The ore runs about 80 per
cent. lead, 3 ounces silver and 81 in gold.
The ledge is three feet wide at a depth of
40 feet. Two miles west of the Magma Char
ter the
WEST CAMP
MjOna arc rooobod Thaca roipoo woro
worked in the early seventies. The ore
found here is different in 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. res 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.
TIL; Ragsdale and Rockhill mine il the
vicinity shows vein two feet wide ut a
depth of 81 feet, which assays so per cent.
lead Is ouncessilver and $50 gold.
Messrs. Hip, Wren and others own seye-
raj mines in this locality, the principal
ones being the Pilot Knob, carrying gold;
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 q local copper smelling furnace
and gave good results.
West Camp is at the extreme northwest
end of the mineral bel: and upon the sum-
nit of the ranpe.
Returning to the Aultman niue the
GOLDEN FLEECE
Lies just to the east and adjoining the Aulf-
and the Ragsdale estate. The work COZ
sists of two tunnels and shaft. The orc

North of the Golden Fleece il tie Golden
Wedge, owned by Messrs. Thomp.oa d
Weller, which is also tut little prospectci.
There is some ore upon it that shows gold.
North of the Golden " edrc is the T Tor
ouenbred, belonging to VIM. "atson and
others. 1t has II shalt fifty feet deep which
exposes good ore.
Adjoining the Joaaa OH the north and
cast is the
FLORIDA
Group, the property Of ID. G. Mcdonald nnd
John f. Cupid. The group include. the
Florida, Dauntless and quadrant, watch
extends across Robinson cnnyOn ~ the

the Robinson canyon, the owners hayeslnll
shaft 81 feet deep, they drifted norta 81
feet aud sunk again at the end Of the drift
The bottom Of the shaft is at the foot wall
Of the ledge. They then crescent 80 feet
reaching the HANGING wall, showing the
ledge in the bottom to be. 30 feet wide.
There lS also an open assure 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 cropplnps of
the ledge % ieet deep in which there is
eight feet of ore that assays 81 per ton in
pold The lctipe 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 lis feet cutting
the ledge; one is IS feet long cutting the
ledge. and one so feet which has not vet
reached the ledge. The ore assays IS. 70 per
ton and carries some copper.
Upon the east extension OF the Golden
Fleece is the Lone Star, the property of
Messrs Hayes u 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. At distance of one
and one-half miles the General Logan mine
Is located, the property of MeSsrs. House,
Morris. Hip and others. There is "A tunnel
IS feet long and shaft 81 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 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 onnces in silver. Some high
grade ore is also found in the May Day.
These mines are upon the extreme south
east end of the mineral belt and are about
one mile west of the town of Ely.
One mile up Robinson canyon from the
town of Ely, and upon the north side of the
canyon is Maggie hill, from which poiut the
description of the north ledge will be taken
up The principal mines on this hill are
the Mohee group and the Maggie group.
The Mohee group IS the property of D. c.
