the same grade, Fifty tons Of O , taken
from this shaft assayed $27 in gold to the
ton, The ore il the same in cha acter as
the Gold Hill, do, snot 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 tho mine;
There are q number of other locations
upon Gold Hill. The principal ones are the
City of New York, owned by Messrs. Osti-
gard, Moore and Weher. They have a shaft
20 feet deep, drift has been run 80 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 q shaft 30 feet deep In
North of the Gold Hill mine some dis
tons, owned by d. c. Mcdonald. Jas p. Nc
Omie, ]. B. Simpson and others. There is
shaft on this mine 30 feet deep which taps
a strongla age six feet wide of ore assaying
SIS in gols small streak of ore in the
ledge ASA, 80 in gold and 81 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 shcH
gold. At n distance of shout two miles the
Magma Charter IL reached, the property OF
Thos. Rockhill and others. The ore Is of
an entire different character, resembling
the ore of the north ledge, carrying silver,
lead and gold. The ole luns about 30 per
cent lead, ounces silver and " in gold.
The ledge is three feet wide at O depth of
40 feet. Two miles west of the Magma Char
ter the
WEST CAMP
Mines are reached. Thele mines were
worked in the early seventies. The ore
found here is different in character from
the mines already described, some of them
carrying copper in larPe 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
workings and shipped for reduction as
sayed $50 in silver and II per cent. lead.
The latter claim (Boss) has deep shaft out
of which some high grade silver-lead ore
has been extracted.
The Ragsdale and Rockhill mine il the
vicinity. shows vein two feet wide AZ
depth of 81 feet, which assays so per cent.
lead, Is ounces silver and $50 gold.
Messrs. Hip, Wren and others own seye-
raj mines in this locality, the principal
ones being the Pilot ku0h. carrying pold:
the Emma, carrying gold, silver and lead:
the Monmouth, Monitor, Star and Star Of
the West, all CARRYING copper aud ores
duced ut y local copper smelling furnace
and gave good results.
West Camp is at the extreme northwest
end Of the mineral bel' aud upon the sum
nit of the range.
Returning TO the AultmAn mine the
GOLDEN FLEECE
Lies Just to the east and adjoining the Ault-
man. 1t is the properly OF Tho-. kmknil
and the Ragsdale estate. The work con-
sists of two tunnels and q shaft. The ore
assays 10 ounce. silver and 40 g0lt.

There is some ore upon it that shows gold
North of the Golden WsdSe in the Tnor-
ouahbred, belonging to VIM. Watson and

exposes good ore
Adjoining the Joana on the north and
east is the

feet and sunk again at the end of the drift
So feet, making total depth of I42 feet
The bottom of the shaft is at the foot wall
of the ledge. They then crosscut 30 feet
ledge in the bottom to be so feet wide
There is also an open fissure that exposes
the ledge lntterly for one hundred and fifty
feet. The ore in these workings assay from
81 to $13 per ton in gold. Two hundred feet
| there is another shaft in the groupings of
the ledge 20 feet deep in which there ia
eight feet of ore that assays s. 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 lis feet cutting
the ledge; one is 6S feet long cutting tn :.
ledge, and one, 80 feet which has not yet
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

but little prospected. At a distance of one
and one-half miles the General Logan mine
Morris, Hip and others There is 4 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

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

| These mines are upon the extreme south
east end Of the mineral belt and are about
one mile wesI of the town of Ely.
One mile mp Robinson canyon from the
town of Ely, and upon the north side OF the
canyon is Maggie hal, IRON which point the
description of the north ledge will be taken
up The principal mines on this hill are
the Mohee group and the Maggie group.
