IS gold ore. A Ia distance OF 70 leet turtneI
east in the east drift the Wine to the upper
slevel is reached, which is referred TO ABOVE.
At the bottom of this Wine drift leads u
the north % feet, euttinP through small
point of lime and opens again into litrS
chambe from which large quantity OF
ore has been stopped. This Slope extends
200 to the northwest and 20 feet southeast,
and to the level above. The ore taken
from this portion of the NINE WAS nlgh
grade. Samples can be had running into
the thousands, but the aYcraPe would prob
ably reach $50 to $40 per ton. There have
been several thousand tons OF this ore
worked at the Chairman mill. There still
remains several thousand totls OF same lllAi-
ity in the mine. There is no indicati II 0f
the south wall of the mine having ""1
reached 1t is also questionable WnetH r
the northwest has been reached. 1t Is / -
common opinion that the south or hang Il z
wall is shale, and that the north or stHt
wall is porphy1y. Through the 'aile 1
many places lunches of lime ar ND !;
but thus far they have been but "sUo nes,
ore being found on each side of the lime.
The ore in the chairman group is similar
to that in the Anltman 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 mill,
using copper plates for saving he gold.
The last ork showed a saving OF about GO
per cent Of the gold, while at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved considerable
portion OF the gold that is not free is found
in white carbonate of lead, and another
portion is found in heavy black IRON,
either OF which ga can be readily d saved BY
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 success.
The Chairman ledge passes through the
entire length of the Chairman mine to the
west end of the location and continue on
its 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 and Au1tman 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 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
175 feet. where the ore is found at the bot
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 o. a tun-
nel 40 feet long, at the end OF which shaft
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and assays SIS per ton in god. The
ledge can be traced the entire lenpth Of
the mine. South of the Ely and To the
western end lies
THE MOHAWK,
The property of Messrs Thomas, Clark,
Weber u Heusser. There is shaft 50 feet
deep and AL open cut upon the mine i'll
which ore has been developed thar assays
$40 per ton il gold. West CT the Chairman
group lies tie

The property of VIM. Watson, Lcacn Pros.
aud others. There is a shaft and tunnel
upon the mine on Which rhe OWNERS nave
done considerable work and exposed soine
ore. general sample taken asSayed ~ per

South of the Rob Roy mine lies
CHEF OF THE IIILL,
Owned by Samuel PARK iuson and others.
The owners have done some work on the
mine and developed some orr.
Adjoining the Los Angeles mine on the
west is the Sax ton, the properly Of Gov
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
from one Of the cid shafts upon the ledge
assayed SIS in gold. The ore is free ana of
the same character found ID the above de-
scribed mines. This is considered to be
one of the best locations in the district t.
West Of the SaXton is
THE AURORA GROUP,
Owned by Messrs Graham, Williamson aud
Rockhill The group is composed of four
mines, the Katy G., Emma G, Oregon and
Mount Morgan. The working consists Of q
tunnel III feet long and u shaft 80 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 we'll
defined. 1t is understood in this vicinity
that this property is uneier 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 tnis mine
10 feet deep and tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth S. per ton in gold.
Continuing To The southwark on the main
mineral belt, but 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
pected, and nothing can be said as to their
