| 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 mill,
using copper plates for saving he gold.
| The last work showed saving of about 60
| 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 can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process ht $
been used upon the tailngs at the Chain
man mill, The tailinqs carving some free
gold, and gold alleged with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process fall short of be-
ing success.
The Chairman ledge passes through the
entire length Of the Chainman mine to the
west end of the location and continue on
its westward course through the Turkey
and Y 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 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 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 NINE,
The property of General Thomas and F.
NJ. Clark. The workings consist of tun-
nel 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 niue. South of the Ely and to the
western end lies
THE MOHAWK,
The property of Messrs Thomas, Clark,
Weber II Heusser. There is a shaft 80 feet
ctep and en- open cut upon the mine in
which ore has been developed that assays
sl9 per ton in gold. West of the chairman
group lies the
ROB ROY MINE,
The property of Captain Carpenter, Hip
aud others. The claim has been develop
Cd by series of tunnels in which some
very good ore has been found. DIVINE 70
the presence OF water near the surface the
ore is not free, but is in a sulphurate form
The owners have expended at least five
thousand dollars on the property. Adjoin-
ing the Rob Roy on the west is
THE Los ANGELES,
The property of VIM. Watson, Leach Bros
and others. There is a shaft and tunnel
upon the mine on which the owners have
done considerable work and exposed some
ore. A general sample taken assayed $50 per
ton in gold: a lot of second,class ore work

South of the Rob Roy mine lies
CHIEF OF THE 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 SaXtoD, the property Of Gov
ernor Mckinley and Others At this point
pings are found high above the surface in
many places over the mines. The prospect
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 e. Emma &, Oregon and
Mount Morgan. The working consists of d
tunnel 10 feet long and d shaft 35 feet
deep and a tunnel 70 feet long. At the
shaft there is body of very good ore as
j. se} en- feet wide, and in some places very
strong. The groupings assay $40 in gold
Ike the 5aXton this property has great
merit, the ledge being very strong and we'll

that this property Is under bond to New

The Rosebud mine IS to the west of the
AHrora group and is the property of Mr..
Rock1lii. There isa shaft upon this mine
49fcet deep and q tunnel 100 feeUlong which

Continuing to the luutnWard on the main
mineral belt, but a great many locations
are passed over, all Of which have
some worl. done upon them and show more
or less gold. They are but slightly pros

value, except tnat they all snow the same
