the north % feet, cutting through small
nOint of lime and opens again into large
chamber from which a barge quantity of
ore has been stopped. This stefe extends
200 to the northwest and 20 feet southeast,
and to the level above. The ore taken
from this portion OF the mine was nlEn

the thousands but the average woali prob

remains several thousand tons OF same quail
ity in the mine. There il no indication OF
the south wall of the mine having J zen
reached it is also questionable WhHth'r
the northwest has been reached. 1t X the
common opinion that the south or hnngtug
wall is shale, and that the north or fpot
wall is porphy1y. Through the nine IN
many places punches OF lime ar" lprHd
but thus far they have been but lunches,
ore being found on each side of he lime.
The ore in the Chairman group Is similar
to that in the Aultman and JOana 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,
The last work showed saving of about go
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved A consideraDle
portion of the gold that is not free is found
in white carbonate OF LEAD, ana announcer
portion is found in heavy black iron,
either of which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process ht
been used upon the tailings at the Chain
man mill, The taflinPs carrying some nee
gold, and gold allowed 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 V mines. These mines are but little
prospected, and nothing is known OF their
value except that they are on the eN-
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 Cham
man mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
The property of Messrs. Simpon, Campton,
Harris and others, There is shaft aud
other workings upon the mine that expose
u large vein OF ore that assays s. to the ton
in gold. The deepest WoT kings are about
175 feet. where the ore is found at the bot

South of the chairman lies the
ELY MINE,
The property of General Thomas and r.
M. Clark. The workings consist OF u tun-
mel 40 feet long, at the end of which a shaft
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and assays s. 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 IL HeuSser. There is a 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

South Of the Rob Roy mine lies

The owners have done some work on the
mine and developed some ore.
Adjoining tho Los Angeles mine on the

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

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 we'll

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..
Rockhill. There is a shaft upon this mine
10 feet deep and u tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth So per ton in gold.
