the northwest has been reached. 1t Is the
common opinion that the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the nortn or 1ooC
wall is porphy1y. Through the mine IN
many places lunches OF lime are founu;
but thus far they have been but bunches,
ore being found on each side OF the lime
The ore in the Chairman group is similar
to that in the Aultman ana Joanna lnlIles;
possibly not so free as that IN the last
named mine. The reduction OF this ore mas
all been with the ordinary stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving enc golG;
The last work showed saving OF aDout on
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 1ound
in white carbonate of lead, ana anotner
portion is found in a heavy black iron,
either of which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process ne
been used upon the tailings at the Chain

gold, and gold alleged with the carbonate
OF lead, makes the process 1all SNORT VI pe-
ing a success.
The Chairman ledge passes through the
entire length of the Chainman 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 shaft and
l:Other workings upon the mine that expose
large vein of ore that assays S. to the ton
in gold. The deepest workings are about
IT'S feet. where the ore is found at the bot
tom: but very little prospecting has been

South of the chairman lies the
ELY MINE,
The property of General Thomas and F.
NJ Clark. The workings consist OF tun-
mel 40 feet long, at the end OF when smart
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and assays S. per ton In gold. me
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 u Heusser. There is shaft 30 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
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. Adlo1D-
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 $40 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 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
assayed $18 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 d
tunnel I12 feet long and shaft 30 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.
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 a shaft upon this mine
40 feet deep and tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth So per ton in gold.
Continuing to the southwark on the main
mineral belt, but 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
pected, and nothing can be said as to their
