81 pold ore. a Ia distance Of 20 feet further
east in the east drift the Wine to the upper
level is reached, which is referred TO above.
At the bottom of this winze DRIFT leads TO
the north 2S feet. cutting through small
point of lime and opens again into large
chamber from which large quantity of
ore has been stopped. This stope extends
900 to the northwest aud 20 feet southeast,
and to the level above. The ore taken
from this portion OF the mine was nlgn
grade Samples can be had running into
The thousands, but the AVERAGE would PROB
ably reach $50 to slo per ton. There nave
been several thousand tons OF TINS ore
worked at the Chairman MILL Ihere stiil
remains several thousand tons OF same qual.
ity in the mine. There is no indication OF
the south wall OF the mine having cen
reached it is also questionable whether
the northwest has been reached. III Is tne
common opinion that the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the norm or 1901
wall is porphyly. Through the mine in
many places punches OF lime are found;
but thus far they have been but bunch 'a,
ore being found on each side OF the I'm .
The ore in the Chairman group is slnIlt'r
to that in the Aultm9n and Joanna mines,
possibly not 50 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 lhe gold.
The last work showed Il saving OF about 90
per cent of the gold, waite at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved considerable
portion Of the gold that is not Tree is found
in a white carbonate Of lead, aad another
portion is found in heavy black iron,
either OF which can be Tendlly saved by
concentration. The cyanide process III $
been used upon the tailings at the Chain
man mill, The tnilings carrying some free
gold, aud gold alloyed with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process fall snort OF be-
ing q success.
The Chairman ledge PASSES through the
entire length Of the Chainmau mine to the
west end Of the location and continue on
its westward course through the Turkey
and mines These mines are but little
prOspccted, aud 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 South afn Cross
niue. There is some more work done upon
the Southern Cross. Samples taken IRON
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 Il shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
a large vein of ore that assays s. to the ton
in gold. The deepest workings are about
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 and f.
NJ. Clark. The workings consist of a tun-
mel 40 feet long, at the end of Whlch d 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 lerSth Of
the niue South OF the Ely and To the
western end lies
THE MOHAWK,
The property of Messrs Thomas. Clark,
Weber 4 Heusssr. There is a shalt 30 fee j.

value, except that they all show the same
