+ So leet further east tho hedge IS again
ctosscGt to the south DISTANCE Of 10 feet in
S. gold ore. At distance OF 20 feet further
east in the east drift, the winze to the upper
level is reached, which is referred to a'ooye.
At the bottom of this winze u drift leads to
the north rs feet, cutting through small
point of lime aud opens AGAIN into iarg.:
chamber from which a large quantity or
ore has been stopped. This stope extends
900 TO the northwest and 90 feet 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 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 mort invest has been reached. 1t is the
common opinion that the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the north or 1oot
wall is porphyly. Through the mine in
many places lunches of lime are found;
but thus far they have been but lunches,
ore being tound 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 us that ia 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 showed saving Of aItOut 10
W
but 40 per cen was saved. consderable
portion Of the gold that is not free is fohnd
in white carbonate OF lead, and another
portion is found in Il heavy black IRON.
either OF which can H., readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process hts
been used upon the ralings at the Chain
man mil, The tailiurs carrying some free
gold, aud gold alleged with the carbonate
of lead makes the process fall short OF be-
ing success.
Tue Ch4nman ledge passes through the
entire length Of the Chairman mine to the
west end OF the loeatic and c0nt,uue on
It's westward course through the Turkey
and V mines. These mines are but little
prospected and nothing is known of tneir
value except that they are on the eX-
tension of the ChAinlGar and Auitman lode.
The same can be said ot the Southern Cross
mine. There is some more work done upon
the Southern Cross. Samples taken from
one Of the shafts ASA we'd s.! per ton. Be-
tween the Southern Cross ana the CHAIN
man mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
The property of Messrs. Simpon, Campton,
Harris aud Others There is shaft and
other workings upon the mine that exnose
large vein Of ore that assays So to the ION
in gold. The deepest workings are about
175 feet. where the ore Is found at tne Lot
tom; but very little Prospecting has been
done. West OF tvs Golden Revenue and
South of the Chairman lies The
The property of General Thomas and F.
NJ. Clark. The workings consist OF n tun-
;lel 40 feet long, at the end of which n shaft
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and assays 50 per ton in gold, The
ledge can he traced the eutire length of
tsa mine. South of the Ely aud To the
western end lies
TIE MOHAWK.
The property of Messrs Thomas, Clnrk,
Weber * Haiisser. There is Il Shaft 80 feet
deep and an open cut Upon the mine IN
which ore has been o.vcione'l that assays
$40 per ton in gold. West OF the Clainmnn
group lies the

CHIEF OF THE HILL,
Owned by Samuel Parl inson and others.
Toe owners have done some work on the
mine aud developed some ore.
Adjoining the los Angeles mine on the
west is the SaX:on. tue property OF GOV
erpor Mckinley and others At this point
the ledge is very strong CrOn
plugs are found high above the surface in
many places over the mines. The prospect
is covered by L. S. patent and has remain
ed idle for many years. sample taken
from one of the old shafts upon the ledge
assay2d SIS in gold. The ore is free and Of
the same character found in the above de-
scrjbed mines This is considered to be
one OF the best locations in the district.
West of the SaEtOn is
THE AURORA GROUP,
Owned by Messrs. Graham, Williamson and
Rockhin. The group Is composed of -four
mines, the Katy q, Emma &, Oregon and
Mount MORAN. The working consists Of 81
tunnel IL feet long and ~ shaft 81 feet
deep and tunnel 70 feet long. at the
SHAFT there is 81 body Of very good Gre as
saying 81 per ton in free gold. The ledge
i seven feet wide and III SOME places very
strong. The groupings assay $40 in gold.
Like the SaXton this property has great
merit the ledge being very strong aud well
defined. 1t is understood in this vicinity
that tls property Is under bond to Kew

The Rosebud mine is to the west Of the
Aurora group and is the property of Mr..
Rockhill There lisa shaft upon this mine
