five feet further east tho ledge is again
crosscut to the south distance OF ~ feet IN
s. gold ore. ia distance OF ~ Ieet IurIner
east in the east drift, the winze to the upper
level is reached, which is referred 10 ABOVE.
At the bottom of this Wine drift leads TO
the north % 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
200 to the northwest and 20 feet southeast,
and to the level above. Tne ore taken
from this portion of the mine was h1gh
grade. Samples can be had running into
the thousands, but the average would prob
ably reach $S5 to $40 per ton. Ihere nave
been several thousand tons OF TINS ore
worked at the Chairman mill. There still
remains several thousand tons OF same qualc.
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. IL is ehe
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 found;
but thus far they have been but 6unches,
ore being found on each side OF the lime.
The ore in the chairman group Is similar i,H
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 the goidc;
The last work showed a saving OF about 90
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
| but 90 per cent was saved. A considerable
| portion Of the gold that is not free is found
| in awhile carbonate of lead, and another
| portion is found in heavy black IRON,
| either of which can be readily saved by
| concentration. The cyanide process nts
been used upon the tailings at the Chain
| man mill, The tailings carrying some Tree
| gold, and gold alleged with the carbonate
| of lead, makes the process fall short OF be-
| ing a 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
| aud 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 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 a shaft and
| other workings upon the mine that expose
1 a large vein of ore that assays S. to the ton
| in gold. The deepest workings are about
| IT'S 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-
mel 40 feet long, at the end of which shaft
| is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
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 & Heusser. There is 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 NINE,
| 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 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.
aud others. There is shaft and tunnel
| upon the mine on which the owners have
| done considerable work and exposed some
| ore. A general sample taken assayed $40 per
| ton in gold. 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 by Samuel Parkinson 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 and 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. 8. patent and has remain
A taken
from one of the old shafts upon the ledge
assayed $13 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
Rockhiu The group is composed OF four
Mount Morgan. The working consists of
tunnel liz feet long and a shaft 35 feet
deep and a tunnel rs feet long. At the
shaft there is body, of very good ore as
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 is a shaft upon this mine
4Ofeet 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
value, except that they all show the same
ledge matter and are of the character that
