/ the incline has left the ore, the ledge con-
! tinues to the bottom of the shaft bur is not
from this shaft assayed S27 in go to thc
ton. The ore is the same in character as
the Gold Hill, does not show as much gold in
panning, but is remarkably repulsr in AS
saying. The ledge il 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 York, owned by Messrs. Osti-
gard, Moore and Wel'ar. They have a shaft
20 feet deep, 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 He'll n
the Hill, belonging to Capt. Harmon and
Capt. Carpenter, has shaft 30 feet deep in
ore.
| North Of the Gold Hill mine some dis
lance is the Midnight and Phoenix loca-
tions, owned by d. c. Mcdonald Jas. P. Nc

SIS in gol. \ small streak Of ore in the
ledge ASA. 80 in gold and 67 per cent
lead.
East of the Midnight 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 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 south. There are
locations most of the way upon which some
prospecting has been lone which all she n
gold. At Il distance OF shout two miles the
Magma Charter IL reached, the property of

the ore of the north ledge, carrying silver,
lead and gold. The ole iuns about 30 per
cent. lead, ounces silver and s. in gold
The ledge is three feet wide at depth OF
40 feet. Two miles west of the Magma Char
ter the
WEST CAMP
Mines are reached. These mines were
worked in the early seventies. The ore
found here is different III 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

able work done. On the former there is Il
Fhaft and open cut Ores taken from tn ese
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 silverlead ore
has been extracted.
