the Gold Hill does not show as much gold in
p~anning, but is remarkably regular III as
saying, The ledge is very prominent and
crops out at several points on the mine.
There are II number of other locations
upon Gold Hill. The principal ones are the
City of New York, owned by Messrs. Osti-
pard. Moore and Weber. They have a shaft
20 feet deep, a drift has been run 30 feet
from the bottom of the shat. which is all in
ore assaying 81 per ton in gold.
The Hickory. lying north OF the Hell n
the Hill, belonging to Capt. Harmon and
Capt. Carpenter, has a shaft 35 feet deep in
ore.
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis

East of the Midnight a short distance is
the october location, the property of
Messrs Simpson and RynearsOn. The mine
was worked in the early days of Robinson
at which time a deep shaft was sunk and
some ore was extracted which was princi-

Journeying to the northwest the ledge
makes a turn more to the south. There are
locations most of the way upon which some

found here is different i'll character from
the mines already described, some Of them
carrying copper in large quantities. The
principal mines of this vicinity are tlc
Boulder and Boss, the property OF John

There is also an open assure that "xnoses

tunnels, n of which is lis feet cutting
the ledge; one is IS feet long cutting the
ledge, and one 80 feet which has not yet

Upon the east extension of the Golden
Fleece is the Lone Star, the property Of

One mile mp Robinson canyon from the
town of Ely, and upon the north side of the
canyon is Maggie hill, from which point the
description of the no-th ledge will be taken
up. The principal mines on this hill are
the Mohce group and the Maggie group.
The Mobee group is the property of d. c.
