the northwest has been reached. IL Is the
common opinion that the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the nofth Oh iooC
wall is porphy1y. Through the mine IN
MANY places punches OF lime are founu;
but thus far they have been but 6unches,
ore being found on each side OF the lime.
The ore in the Chairman group Is similar
to that in the Aultman and Joanna mlnes,
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 me gQld;
The last work showed saving OF aoou! %
per cent of the gold, while at tne peglnnilIIg
but 10 per cent was saved. A cons!deraple
portion OF the gold that is not Tree is 1ound
in a white carbonate OF lead, ana another
portion is found in heavy black IRON,

west end Of the location and continue on
it's westward course through the Iurkey
and mines These mines are but lltt!e
nrospected, and nothing is known OF their
value except that they are on the eX-
tension ofthe 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. pc
tween the Southern Cross and the Cham
man mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
The property of Messrs Simpon, Campton,
Harris and others, There is a shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
a large vein OF ore that assays 50 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 mas been
done. West OF the Golden Revenue ana
South of the chairman lies the
The property of General Thomas and f.
NJ Clark The workings consist OIL tun-
mel 40 feet long, at the end OF which smart
is sunk in the ledge, which is about SIX leet
wide and assays 80 per ton IN gold. Inc
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,
Va, q There ,Utt
deep and an open cut upon the mine IN
which ore has been developed that assays
$40 per ton in gold. West OF the Grammar
group lies the
ROB ROY MINE,
The property of Captain Carpenter, Hip
and others. The claim has been develop
ed bv 81 series of tunnels in which some
very good ore has been found. DIVINE to
the presence OF water near the surface the
ore is not free, but is in sulphurate form
The owners have expended at least tive
thousand dollars on the property. Adloin-
ing the Rob Roy on the west IS
THE LOS ANGELES,
The property Of VIM. Watson, Leach Bros
and others. There is Il shaft and tunnel
upon the mine on which the owners have
done considerable work and exposed some
ore A general sample taken assayed SO per
ton in gold. lot of second-class GRE work
ed at the Chairman mill yielded 81 in gold
South OF UH6 hob Roy mine llcS
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
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 ana
Rockhill. The group is composed OF four
mines, the Katy &, Emma G, Oregon and
Mount Morgan. The working consists OF a
tunnel IL feet long and shaft 81 feet
deep and tunnel 70 feet long. At the
shaft there is 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 lisa shaft upon this mine
40 feet deep and Il tunnel 100 feet thong which
expose ore worth So per ton in gold.
Continuing to the 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
