a distance of 80 teet in IS gold ore. Thirty
five feet further east tho ledge is again
crosscut to the south 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 has been stopped. 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 sui
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 loot
wall is porphyry 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 group is 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 saving OF about 60
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 heavy black iron,
either of which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process he s
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
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
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 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
ELY MINE,
The property of General Thomas and F.
NJ Clark. The workings consist of tun-
mel 40 feet long, at the end of which a shaft
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide aud assays 80 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,
=
Weber q Heusser. There is 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. Owing to
the presence of water near the surface the
ore is not free, but is in a 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 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. 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 Park nson 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
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 Morgan. The working consists OF a
tunnel liz feet long and a shaft 80 feet
deep and a 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 a tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth SIS per ton in gold.
Continuing to the southwark on the main
belt, but great many locations
some work done upon them and show more
or less gold They are but slightly pros
