 mend portable plant being put on to this work, so that the extent of the de- posit as well as its full value be establish ed.
 'By Chance" exten sion mining claim. This claim lies immediately west of the By Chance" No development has been done up to the present time. I am i'm formed that 1t was taken up to cover any extension of mineral there may be proved on the adjoining By Chance" claim.
 Mine ''Lone Wllr' On examining these openings 1 found the formation irregular, carrying small veinlets of quartzite here ard there through it. I had some of the vein matter tested, and it gave 46. 61 ounces to the ton. This property Is by no means developed and I recommend 1t as worthy of attention when the proper plant for such is obtained
 Mine "Golden Eagle.' There are only two open cuts and one shaft opened on this claim. The shaft Is sunk to depth of 60 feet The vein of ore in the shaft is from 10 to Is inches thick, and is com posed of a hard viterous quartz. The walls are well defined and dip at an an- gle of 50 degrees south from the horizon. This vein also outcrops for 80 feet to the east of the shaft and looks regular and persistent The vein Is non- n-mineralized, l. 6. from sulphurets; 1t goes by analy- sis Q ounces of silver and 12. 50 gold to the ton. The character of the quartz is too hard, in my opinion, to be relied up- on for free gold. I, however Gas soon as time will permit) adv the more thorough development of this claim.
 Mine "The Desert" found that con siderable work had been done on this claim, and from which, have been in- formed, that bullion to the value of $26- 900 has been taken out as the result of the workings The formation is com posed of light siliceous shades, carrying a quartz vein of 10 inches thick, also others of smaller sizes. A shaft has been sunk to depth of 80 feet on the 10-lnch vein. I took samples of the vein ore, also some of the shales for analysis; the hard ore yielded 7.29 ounces tu the ton, and the | stales 12 15 ounces to the ton. If this yield holds out there Is scope here for a large mine, judging from the shales in sight, and only awaits the putting up of a large mill that could handle quantity to yield good revcuue.
 Mine Red Peach The small shafts arc the only work done on his claim. No. 2 is only few feet deep, at the bottom of which dark shales are found similar tC the By Chance" which analyze 49 ozs to the ton.
 The No. ? and shafts d re only about feet deep. A small vein of ore runs il them about an inch thick, but yields by analysis 352 ounces to the ton.
 strongly urge the further develop ment of this claim, believing that tht vein mentioned will enlarge as depth i: attained.
 Mine "Lazy Sleeper" On this clain there is shaft sunk down g feet Tn, vein, as will be seen by referring to thu section, is very irregular, and no wall inches in thickness. There are runnin. through the rock a number of smal quartz veinlets. Samples taken iron the vein analysed 24.30 ounces to thu ton. To the west of this shaft smal open cut is made The formation a here seen is also disturbed, but carrie small veins. The present showing would not pay to work, as the expense incurre, in mining and selecting would be to- heavy. But the amount of work don is so small that 1 must say that l regar, it as being at present undeveloped. The mine "Joe Dandy" No develop ment on this claim beyond two smal openings A shaft as sunk to a depth o 20 feet, carrying vein varying in thick
 ness from three to eight inches. Tn formation is very irregular, nothing be
 ing in place. The ore Z ave 60 ounces t.
 the ton.
 No. 2 shaft is also sunk to depth o 20 feet, carrying veins very small in sig
 through an irregular formation. Thi claim, as will be seen by the smal amount of work done upon 1t, cannot b regarded as anything but undeveloped Mine 'The Lion" Beyond two O three small holes having been sunk fo assessment purposes, no work has beer
 done upon it.
 l Mine 'Buckhorn. Beyond two o { three small openings made for assess 1 ments, no work has been done upon it I may say that 1 took up a few piece | of ore from one of the small vein, ant they analysed 1915 ounces to the ton l In order to work and develop thes { claims proper hosting machinery shoul'
 be placed on the "Jessie Benton" min at once. Also small portable hoistini plant should be placed on the "B, Chance" in order to develop at an earl, date as is possible the extent and valu of the silver bearing shale deposit. Owing to the flat surface covering tn mines, and the absence of outcrop of tn
 under formation, beg to suggest tha for the proper developing of the mine refer to, Diamond Core drill should b , procured By having such drill har, cores of the underlying rocks could b procured, thickness of deposits such a , the shales could be ascer tained at a mucl , cheaper course than croscutting and sink ing.
 The crushing m i'll should be enlarger
 at once, for as soon as a proper hoistis'
 plant and modern lmprovemenJs are pu
 on the 'Jessie Benton" the present ca
 pacity of the mill will be found made quate to the supply of ore.
 ' Copies of the analyses made and refer
 red to in this report, are annexed here to, and signed by the assayer. Dupli cate samples of the ore and shales I hay,
 brought with me, so that any or all O
 them can be tested if 80 desired In conclusion beg to say that I thinl
