distance of 80 teet in s. gold ore. Thlrty-
five feet further east tho ledge is again
crosscut to the south distance OF ~ 1eeI III
IS gold ore. At distance oil ~ feet 1urCner
east in the east drift, the Wine to the upper
level is reached, which is referred to above.
At the bottom OF this Wine a drift leads TO
| the north % feet, cutting through small
point of lime and opens again into large
chamber from which large quanIitty u
ore has been stopped. This stope extends
200 to the northwest and 20 feet southeast,
and to the level above. The ore taken
from this portion of the mine was nlgn
grade. Samples can be had running lnto
| the thousands, but the average would prop
ably reach $50 to $40 per ton. 1hefe nave
| been several thousand tons OF TINS ore
worked at the chairman mill. Ihere sui
remains several thousand tons OF same quar-
| itV in the mine, There is no 1nd1caJlOn OF
I the south wall of the mine having Teen
| reached it is also questionable Whether
| the northwest has been reached IL Is the
| common opinion that the south or hanging
| wall is shale, and that the north or 1901
wall is porphyry. Through the mine In
! many places punches of lime are found;
but thus far they have been but Dunches
| ore being found on each side OF the lime.
| The ore in the Chairman group is similar
| to that in the Aultman and Joanna mines,
| possibly not SO free as that IN the last
! named mine. The reduction OF this ore mas
all been with the ordinary stamp mill
using copper plates Tor saving lhe go 80 eo

per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
! but 40 per cent was saved. A considerable
portion OF the gold that is not free is 1ound
! in white carbonate OF lead, ana announcer
! norton is found in q heavy black 1ron
| either OF which can be readily saved by
| concentration. The cyanide process nj
been used upon the tailings at the Chain

cold. and gold alleged with the carbonate
Of lead, makes the process fall short OF be-

The Chairman ledge passes through the
ent tire length of the Chairman mine TO the
| west end of the location and continue on
| it's westward course through the Turkey
and V mines. These mines are but llttle
| nrospected, and nothing is known OF their
value except that they are on the eX-
nsion of the Chairman and Aultman lode lode
| The same can be said of the Southern Cross
! mine There is some more work done upon
| the Southern Cross. Samples taken from
| one of the shafts assayed $27 per ton Be
| tween the Southern Cross and the CHAIN
man mines lies the
| THE GOLDEN REVENUE
| The property of Messrs. Simpon, Campton,
| Harris and others, There is shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
1 a large vein of ore that assays 80 to the Ton
! in gold. The deepest workings are about
| 175 feet. where the ore is found at the DOT
| tom; but very little prospecting has been
| done West of the Golden Revenue ana
| South of the chairman lies the
| ELY NINE,
The property of General Thomas and F.
| NJ. Clark The workings consist of a tun-
mel 40 feet long, at the end OF which shaft
is sunk in the ledge, which is about SIX feet
| wide and assays s. per ton in gold. The
| ledge can be traced the entire length OF
the mine South of the Ely and to the
| western end lies
THE MOHAWK,
The property Of Messrs. Thomas, Clark,
| Weber d Heusser. There is a shaft 80 feet
! deep and an open cut upon the mine IN
| which ore has been developed that assays
$40 per ton in gold. West OF the chairman
| group lies the
| ROB ROY MINE,
The property OF Captain Carpenter, Hip
| and others, The claim has been develop
| cd by q series OF tunnels in which some
| very good ore has been found. Owing to
! the presence of water near the surface the
! ore is not free, but is in a sulphufate form
| The owners have expended at least five
| thousand dollars on the property. AdJoln-
| ing the ROD Roy on the west is
THE LOS ANGELES,
The property of VIM. Watson, Leach Bros
| and others There is . shaft and tunnel
| upon the mine on which the owners have
done considerable work and exposed some
ore. A general sample taken assayed $75 per
| ton in gold. A lot OF second. class ore work
| ed at the Chairman mill yielded "a in gold.
South OF the Rob Roy mine lies
CHIEF OF THE HILL,
Owned by Samuel Parkinson and others.
The owners have done some work on the
mine and developed some ore.
| Adjoining the Los Angeles mine on the
| west is the SaXton, the property of Gov
ernor Mckinley and others. At this point
the ledge is very strong. Crop
pings are found high above the surface in
| many places over the mines The prospect
is covered by U. S. patent and has remain
ed idle for many years. A sample taken
| from one of the old shafts upon the ledge
assayed SIS in gold. The ore is free and of
! the same character found in the above de-
! scribed mines. This is considered to be
| one of the best locations in the district.
| West of the Saxton is
| THE AURORA GROUP,
! Owned by Messrs. Graham, Williamson and
| Rockhill. The group is composed of four
| mines, the Katy g. Emma G, Oregon and
| Mount Morgan. The working consists of a
| tunnel III feet long and a shaft 35 feet
| shaft there is body of very good ore as
| saying ~ per ton in free gold. The ledge
is seven feet Wide and in some places very
strong. The groupings assay $40 in gold.
Like the Saxton this property has great
merit, the ledge being very strong and we'll
defined. 1t is understood in this vicinity
that this property is under bond to New
York parties
The Rosebud mine is to the west of the
Aurora group and is the property of Mr.
Rockhill. There isa shaft upon this mine
40 feet deep and u tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth S. per ton in gold.
Continuing to the southwark on the main
mineral belt but great many locations
are passed over, all of which have
some work done upon them and show more
