At the bottom of this Wine a drift leads to

200 to the northwest and 20 feet southeast,
and to the level above. The ore taken
from this portion of the mine was n1gn
grade Samples can be had running into
fhe thousands. but the average would prob
ably reach $35 to $40 per ton. Tnere nave
been several thousand tons OF this ore
worked at the chairman mill. There sun
remains several thousand tons OF SAM qua ~

common opinion that the south OF nanglng
wall is porphyry. Through the mine In
many places punches of lime are tound;

named mine. The reduction OF this ore mas "a,

The Chairman ledge passes through the
| entire 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 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 Gross and the Chain
| man mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
| The property of Messrs. Simpon, Campton,
| Harris and others, There is shaft ana
other workings upon the mine that expose
a large vein of ore that assays IS to the ton
| in gold. The deepest workings are about
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 tun-
| is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and assays IS 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 cat 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 a 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 sulphurate form.
| The owners have expended at least five
| thousand dollars on the property. Adjoin-
| ing the Rob 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. 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

many places over the mines. The prospect

| from one of the old shafts upon the ledge
assayed $19 in gold. The ore is free and of
the same character found in the above de-
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
Mount Morgan. The working consists of a
tunnel I12 feet long and a shaft IS feet
deep and a tunnel rs feet long. At the
shaft there is 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

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..
Rockhil1. There is a shaft upon this mine
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
