At the bottom of this Wine DRIFT Ieads 70
the north IS feet, cutting through Small
point OF lime and opens again into large
chamber from which large quantity VI
ore has been stopped. This stope extends
200 to the northwest and 20 feet southeast,
aud to the level above. the ore taken
from this portion of the niue was nlgn
grade Samples can be had running lnIo
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 stlil
remains several thou sand 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 etleI
the northwest has been reached. IL Is the
common opinion that the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the north or loot
wall is porphyry Through tire rhine in
many places punches of lime ar loEno;
but thus far they have been but 7'nGnes,
ore being found on each side o. 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 NINE The reduction Of this ore mas
all been with the ordinary. stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving the gold,
The last work showed saving of about 6O
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved. A conslderaDle
portion Of the gold that is not free is found
in white carbonate of lead, and another
portion is found in q heavy black iron,
either of which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process nj
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 q 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 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 a shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
q large vein of ore that assays S. to the ton
in 6 I'D. The deepest workings are about
10 l6eG. Wnelc GuC OIc 10 iDNiuu dl viz wv
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 aud F.
M. Clark The workings consist OF tun-
mel 40 feet long, at the end Of which shaft
is sunk in the ledge, which is aoout six feet
wide and assays So 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 shaft 30 feet
deep and an open cut upon the mine in
which ore has been develoned that assays
$40 per ton in gold. West O, the Chairman
group lies the
ROB ROY MINE,
The property of Captain Carpenter, Hip
aud 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-
lug the Rob Roy on The west is
TIE Los ANGELES,
The property of VIM. Watson. Leach Bros.
aud others. There il shaft and tunnel
upon the mine on which the owners have
done considerable work and exposed some
ere. 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 inson 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
pings are found high above the surface in
many places over the mines. The prospect
is covered by U. S. patent aud has remain
ed idle for many, years; sample taken
assayed slS 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 q, Emma q, Oregon and
Mount MORAN The working consists of a
deep and a tunnel Is 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 aud is the property. of Mr.
Roekhili. There lisa SHAFT upon this mine
40 feet deep aGd tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth IS per ton in gold
Continuing to the southwark on the main
mineral belt, but &reat 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 e&u be said as to their
value, except thnt they all show the same
ledge mntter and are OF the character that
