S. gold ore. At a distance OF 70 feet turther
east in the east drift, the Wine to the upper

point OF lime and opens aRaln INTO larRe
chamber from which large quantity OF
ore has been stopped. This stope extends
200 to the northwest and 20 feet southeast,
and to the level above. me ore taken
from this portion OF the mine was nlgh
grade Samples can be had running into
the thousands, but the average would prob
ably reach $50 to $40 per ton. Iherc nave
been several thousand tons OF thls ORC
worked at the Chairman mill. There sun
remains several thousand tons OF same qlla,.
itv in the mine There is no indication OF
the south wall of the mine having Teen
reached it is also questionable whether
the northwest has been reached. III Is the
common opinion that the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the north or loot
wall is porphy1y Through the mine in
many places punches OF lime are iound;
but thus far they have been but Duuches,
orc being found on each side OF the lime.
Tn ore in the Chairman grounis similar
to that in the Aultnan aud 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 ne goid;;
per cent of the gold, while att toe beginning
but 40 per cent was saved. c0nsiderable
portion Of the gold that is not free is found
in white carbonate Of lead, and another
portion is found il heavy black IRON,
either of which can be- readily saved by
concentration The cyanide process hiss
been used upon the tailngs at the Chain
man mill, The tailings carrying some free
gold, and gold alleged with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process fall short OF be-
ing Il success.
The Chaiuman ledge passes through the
entire length of the Chat nman niue To the
west eud of the location aud continue on
it's westward coarse through the Turkey
and V mines. These mines ale but little
prospecTed, and nothing is known OF their
value except that they are on the eX-
tension OF the ChainmAn and Auitman 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 II 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 of a tun-
nei 40 feet long, at the end of which shaft
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and assays - 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 ueusser. There is a shaft 80 feet
deep and an open cut upon the mine in
which Gre has been developed That assays
$40 per ton in gold. West OF The Chairman
group lies the
ROB ROY MINE,
The property OF CAPTAIN Carpenter, Hip
and others, The claim has been develop
ed by u 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 "a sHlphurate form
The cWners have expended at least FIVE
thousand dollars on ths property. Aaioin-
ing the Rob Roy on the west Is
THE Los ANGELES,
The property Of Vim. Watson, Leach Bros.
and others. There is shaft aud tunnel
upon the mine on which the oWners have
done considerable work and exposed some
ore. A general sample taken assayed $75 per
ton in gold. A lot OF serond-clasS ore work
Cd at the Chairman mill yielded 81 in gold.
South of the Rob Roy mine lies
CHIEF OF TIE 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. aud others. At this point
pings are found high above the surface in
many places over the mines. The prospect
il covered by U. s. patent and has remain
ed idle for many years. sample taken
from one OF the old shafts upon the ledge
asSayed SIS in gold. The ore is Tree aud of
the same character found iii 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
Rockhll. The group is composed of four
mines, the Katy 6. Emma g, Oregon and
Mount Morgan. The working consists Of a
tunnel III feet long and shaft 80 feet
deep and tunnel rs feet long At the
shaft there is a 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 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
40feet deep and d tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth s. per ton in gold
Continuing to the southwark on the main
mipcral 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
value, except that they all show the same
