thirty-five feet further east, on the east
drift the ledge is again crosscut to the south
a distance of 80 teet in IS gold ore. Thirty
five feet further east tho ledge is again
crosse It to the south a distance of 40 feet in
IS gold ore At distance of 20 feet further
east in the east drift, the Wine to the upper
level is reached which is referred to above.
At the bottom of this Wine drift leads to
the north % feet, cutting through small
point of lime and opens again into large
chamber from which a large quantity Of
ore mas been stope1. 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 high
grade. Samples can be had running into
the thousands, but the average would prob
ably reach $50 to $40 per ton. There have
been several thousand tons of this ore
worked at the chairman mill. There still
remains several thousand tons of same quail
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 foot
wall is porphyIy. Through the mine in
many places punches of lime are found;
but thus far they have been but lunches
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
all been with the ordinary stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving he gold
The last work showed q saving of about 20
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved. considerable
portion Of the gold that is not free is found
in white carbonate of lead, and another
portion is found in a heavy black 1ron
either of which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process ne s
been used upon the tailings at the Chs ain
man mill, The tailings carrying some free
gold, and gold allOyed with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process fall short of be-
ing d success.
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
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 q shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
large vein of ore that assays S. 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.
M. Clark. The workings consist of a tun-
mel 40 feet long, at the end of which sh aft
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 sh aft 80 feet
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. 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. Adioin-
ing the Rob Roy on the west is
THE Los ANGELES,
The property of VIM. Watson, Leach Bros.
and others. There is a shaft and tunnel
upon the mine on which the owners have
uoue couStueTADle Work H1lu exposed SOlle
ore. A general sample taken assayed $75 per
ton in gold. A lot Of second class ore work
ed at the Chairman mill yielded 81 in gold.
South of the Rob Roy mine lies
CHIEF OF THE HILL,
Owned by Samuel Parkinson and others.
The owners nave 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
ed idle for many years. sample taken
from one of the old shafts upon the ledge
assayed $1S in gold. The ore is free aud 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
RocEhill. The group is composed of four
mines, the Katy q, Emma G., Oregon and
Mount Morgan The working consists of
tunnel I12 feet long and shaft IS 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 well
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 is shaft upon this mine
40 feet deep and tunnel 100 feetlong which
expose ore worth IS per ton in gold.
