, the south wall of the mine having cen
reached it is also questionable whether
the northwest has been reached. 1t Is the
common opinion that the south OF hanging
wall is shale, and that the north or loot
wall is porphyIy. Through tie mine IN
many places punches OF lime arr 1ocnu;
but thus far they have been but a"nehes,

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 mli,
using copper plates for saving he gold.
The last work sh bowed n saving OF about 81
per cent of the gold, while at the beglnni1g
but 40 per cent was saved considerable
portion OF the gold that is not free is forlnd
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 M s
been used upon the tailings at the Chain
man mill, The tailinps carrying some free
gold, and gold alloyed with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process fall snort OF be-
ing 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 aud Aultman lode
The same can be said of the Southern Cross
mine. There is some more work done rpOn
the Southern Cross. Samples taken from
one of the shafts assayed $27 per ton. Be
tween the Southern Gross and the Chain
man mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
The property of Messrs. Simpon, Camptoa,
Harris and others, There is a shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
large vein of ore that assays s. to the ton
in gold. The deepest workings are about
175 feet. where the ore is found at the bet
tom; but very little prospecting has been
e.
South of the Chairman lies the
ELY MINE,
The property of General Thomas and F.
NJ. Clark. The workings consist Of IL tull-
mel 40 feet long at the end of which a shaft
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and assays So per ton in gold. The
ledge can be traced the entire len~th of
the mine. South of the Ely and to the
western end lies
THE MOHAWK
The property of Messrs. Thomas, Clark,
Weber Il Heusser. There is a shaft 30 feet
deep and all open cut upon the mine in
which ore has been developed that assays
$40 per ton in gold. West OF the CAainnau
group lies the
ROB ROY MINE,
Tho property Of Captain Carpenter. Hip
and Others. The claim has been develop
ell ny series OF tunnels ia which some
ycTI good orc has bee2 found. Owing to
;he presence of water near the surface the
ore Is nor !t"e, but Is in sulphurate form
thousand dollars on the property. Adioiu-
ing the Rob Roy on the west Is
THE LOS ANGELES.

South of th4 Rob Roy mine lies
CHIEF OF TEE HiLL,
Owned by Samuel Parlins and others
The owners have done some work On the
mine and developed some ore.
AdjoiEing the Los Angeles mine or the
west is the Saxtou. the property OF Coy
ernor Mckinley and Others. At this point
the ledge is very 6u"ng. Crop
pings are found high above the surface in
many places over the Llirea. the prospect
is covered by U. $. pat.nt and has reinalii~
from one of the Old shafts ufon the ledge
assayed $l8 in gold. The ore is free and Of
the same character found in the above de-
scribed mines. This Is considered 10 be
one of the best locations in the district.
West of the saxt0ll IS
THE AURORA GROUP,
Owned by Messrs. t'raham. " ,lliamson and
Rockhill. The group is Fom boaed Of touT
mines, the Katy q, ELtnle G., Oregon nnu
Mount MORGAN. The working consists of d
tunnel I12 feet long and u shaft 81 feet
deep and tunnel IS feet long. AT the
shaft there is body Of very Eood, ore as
saying " per ton III lTee 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 strone 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 tunnel 100 feel long which
expose ore worth - par ton III gold.
Continuing u the southwark on the main
mineral belt, bat "a great many locations
are passed over, all Of which have
some work done pom them and show more
or less gold. They are but slightly pros
pected, and nothing tam be said as to their
