noint OF lime and opens again INTO large
chamber from which large quantity OF
ore has been stopped This Slope extends
200 to the northwest and 70 feet southeast
and to the level above. Tne ore taken
from this portion of the mine was hlgh

the thousands, but the average W0ulu prop

been several thousand tons OF this ore
worked at the chairman mill. There stlll
remains several thousand tons of same quail
ity 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. II Is the
common opinion that the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the north or loot
wall is porphyfy. Through the mine in
many places lunches of lime are found;
but thus far they have been but bunches,
o.e being found on each side OF the Inn :.
The ore in the chairman group is similar
to that in the Aultman and Joanna mines,
possibly not 50 free Us that IN the last
named mine. The reduction OF this ore mas
all been with the ordinary stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving The 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 gOIQ UndG is EOJ Tree ~ lOutlu
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 has
been used upon the tall1Ags at the Cheln-

The crainman ledge passes through the
entire length of the Chainman mine to the
west ea6 of the location and continue on
It's westward course through the Turkey
ara Y mines. These mines are but little
prospected, aud nothing is known OF their
value except that they are on the eX-
tension of the Chairman and Ault1nan lode.
| The same can be said of the Southern Cross
niue There is some more work done upon
the Southern Cross. Samples taken from
one of the shafts assayed S27 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 q shaft and
! other wor kings upon the mine that expose
a large vein of ore that assays 80 to the ton
| 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 aud F.
M Clark. The workings consist of a tun-
mel 40 feet long, at the end OF which 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 4 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
| group lies the
| ROB ROY MINE,
The property OF Captain Carpenter, Hip
| and others, The claim has been develop
| ed by 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 q sulph urate 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. general sample taken assayed $50 per
ton in gold. A lot of second-class ore work
ed at the Chairman mill yielded 81 in gold.
South of the Rob Roy mine lies
CHIEF OF THE HILL,
| owned Dy oamuel fafh lnSOn ana Otners.
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
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
| ed idle for many years. A sample takeu
| 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 q
tunnel I12 feet long and a shaft 50 feet
deep and tunnel Is 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
p! 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..
! Roekhill. There lisa shaft upon this mine
| 40 feet deep and a tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth S. per ton in gold.
| Continuing to the southwark on the main
| mineral belt, but a great many locations
! are passed over, 6ll of which have
some work done upon them aud 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
| ledge matter and are Of the character that
Is found in the previously described mines.
