DRIFT the ie8Ta Is again er0SScuJ 10 the I'll

five ia further east tho ledge is again
crO,s4dt to the south a distance OF 40 feet in
IS gold ore. At a distance of 20 feet further
east in the east drift, the Winze to the upper
Level is reached, which is referred to above.
At the bottom OF this Wine drift leads to
the north IS feet, cutting through small
I,sa of lime and opens again into larSe
eh ain Der from which a large quantity OF
ore has been stopped. This .stope extends
900 to the northwest aud 20 feet southeast,
and to the level above. The ore taken
from this portion of the mine was high
grade. Samples can be had running into
the thousands, but the average would prob
&bly reach $35 to $40 per ton There nave
been several thousand tons OF this ore
worked at the chairman mill. There still

ity in the mine. There is no indication OF
the south wall of the mine having teen
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
Wau is ,porphyty. 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 tie Chairman group is similar
to that in the Aultman and Joanna mines,
possibly not SO free as that III the last
named mine. The reduction Of this ore has
all been with the ordinary stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving he gold.
The last work sh owed a saving OF about 90
per cent OF She gold, while at the beginning
but 10 per cent yas saved. A considerable
portion OF the gold that is not free is found
in white carbonate of lead, and another
portion is found in 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 cold alloyed with the carbonate
Of lead, makes the process fall short OF be-
inc success.
The Ch4innNn ledge passes through the
entire length 81 The Chairman mine to the
west end Of the location and continue on
its westward course through the Turkey
and Y mines. These mines are but little
prosreCted, 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
one Of the shafts assayed $27 per ton. Be-
tween the Southern Cross and the Chain
mani mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
The property Of Messrs. Simpon, Campton,
Harris and others, There is a shaft and
other WORKINGS u pom the mine that expose
d large vein OF ore that assays s. to the ton
in gold. The deepest workings are about
175 feet. Wnere 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 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 SINK i'll the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and assays - per ton in gold. The

western end lies
THE MOHAWK,
The property of Messrs. Thomas, Clark,
Weber q HeusSer. There is sh aft 80 feet
deep and an 0pet cut upon the mine in
which ore has been developed that assays
SO per to0 il gold. West of the Chairman
group lies tae
ROB ROY MINE,
The property of Captain Carpenter, Hip
and 0tn srs, Tae claim has been develop
ed BY series of tunnels in which some
very eo0d ore has Leen found. Owing to
the presence Of water near the surface the
ore is not free, bnt is IN a sulphurate form
The o" aers have expended at least five
thousand dollars on The property. Adioin-

South ot the j.2o Icy mine lies
cHIEF OF THE HILL,
Owned bT samuel Parkinson and others.
The owners have cone some work on tie
mine and developed some ore.
Adjoining the los Angeles mine on the
Wehc is the SaEtCR, The property of Gov
ernor Mckinley a.2et others, At this point
the ledge Is very strong. Crop
pings are found hG.i above the surface in
many places over the mines. The prospect
is covered by q. 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 SaXGon is
THE AURORA GROUP,
Owned by lessrs. Graham, Williamson and
kOtkhill. The group Is composed Of four
mines. the Katy C, Emma &, Oregon and
Mount MORAN. Tae working consists of
tunnel H. feet long and a shaft 80 feet
deep and a tunnel 70 feet long. At the
shaft tAcre is 81 body OF very good ore as
saving 81 pei ton in free gold The ledge
j. seven feet wide, and in some places very
strong. Tae ofoppings assay $40 in gold.
Like tie Sl,Xton this property has great
merit, the ledge being very strong and we'll

that this property IS under bond to New
York parties
Tae Rosebud mile 5 TO the west of the
Aurora group and is the property of Mr..
Koekhill. There is snaft upon this mine
40 feet deep and tunnel 100 feetlong which
expose ore worth s. per ton in gold
Continuing TO til southwark on the main
mineral belt, but a 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
