five feet further east tho ledge is again
crosscut to the south distance oil Az feet IN
IS gold ore. At distance of 20 feet further
east in The east drift, the Winze to the upper
level is reached, winch Is referred 10 above.
At the bottom OF this Wine drltt leads 10
the north Is feet, cutting through small
point OF Lime and opens q@aln INTO large
chamber from watch ii large quantity OF
ore has been stopped. This stope extends
200 to the northwest and 20 rect southeast,
and to the level above. The ore taken
from this portion OF the mine was nlgn
Grade Samples can be had running into
the thousands, but the average would prob
ably reach $50 to $40 per ton. There nave
been several thousand tons OF this ore
worked at the Chairman mill. Ihere SUN
remains several thousand tons OF same quail
ity in the mine. There is no indication OF
the south wall of the mine having leen
reached it is also questionable Whether
the northwest has been reached, 1T Is the
common opinion that the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the north or loot
wall is porphyly. Through the mine in
many places punches OF lime are found;
but thus far they have been but punches,
ore being found on each side OF the lime.
The ore IN the Chairman groups 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 has
all been with the ordinary stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving the gold.
The last work showed o saving of about 90
per cent of the gold, viii lie at The beglnhlng
but 40 per cent was saved. considerable
portion of the gold that is not free is found
in d white carbonate of lead, and another
portion is found in a heavy black IRON,
either of which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process has
been used upon the tailingS at the Chain
man mill, The tailings carrying some free
gold, and gold alloyed with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process fall short OF be-
ing a success.
The Chairman ledge passes through the
of m 81 n mil
west end of the location and continue on
its westward course through the Turkey
and mines. These mines are but little
prospected, and nothing is known of their
value except that they are on the ex-
tension of the Chairman and Aultman lode.
The same can be said Of the Southern Cross
mine. There is some more work done upon
the Southern Cross samples taken from
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
a large vein OF ore that assays So to the ton
| in gold. The deepest workings are about
175 feet. where the ore is found at the bot
| tom; but very little prospecting has been
done. West of the Golden Revenue and
South of the Chairman lies the
ELY MINE,
The property of General Thomas and F.
| NJ Clark. The workings consist of a tun-
| mel 10 feet long at the end of which shaft
| is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
| wide and assays 50 per ton IN gold. Inc
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 u 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
| ed by series of tunnels in which some
! very good ore has been found OWinp to
| the presence of water near the surface the
| ore is not free, but is III Il sulphurate form
The owners have expended at least five
! thousand dollars on the property. Adloln-
| ing the Rob Roy on the west IS
THE Los ANGELES,
The property of VIM. Watson, Leach Bros.
| and others. There is Il 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 lot OF second class ore work
| ed at the Chairman mill yielded 81 in gold.
South OF the Rob Roy mine lies
CHEF 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 aud 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 Moran. The working consists of a
| tunnel 10 feet long and a shaft 30 feet
deep and tunnel rs feet long. At the
shaft there is a body of very good ore as
saying 81 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 lisa shaft upon this mine
40 feet deep and a tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth So per ton in gold
| Continuing to the southwark on the main
mineral belt, but q great many locations
are passed over, all of which have
some work done upon them and show more
or less gold. They are but slightly pros
