cfosscut to the south dds.a a. So foat further
east in the east drift, the WINE TO the upper
level Is reached. which is referred 10 ABOVE.
At the bottom of this VINE urlis ieouS W
the north % feet, cutting through sIiaal
point of lime and opens again Inse a ioi 80
chamber from which large quantlty OF
ore has been stopped. This stope extends
ON to the northwest and 20 feet southeast,
and to the level above. The ore taken
from this portion of the mine was nlgn
grade. Samples can be had running luto
fhe thousands but the average would prop
ABLY reach $95 to $lo per ton. There nave
been several thousand tons OF TINS ore ore
worked at the chairman mill. Ihere sui
remains several thousand tons OF same quar-
ity in the mine There is no 1ndlcatlon on

the northwest has been reached. II Is the
common opinion that the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the north or foot
wall is porphyry. Through the mlne 10
many places punches OF lime arg loGnu;
but thus far they have been but hnnehes,
ore being found on each side OF the lime.
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 mas
all been with the ordinary stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving he gold;
The last work showed q saving of about 60
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved. A considefaole
portion OF the gold that is not free is iouno
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 tailings at the Cham
man mill, The tailings carrying some free
gold, aud gold alleged with the carbonate
az Loud m q kav tho OrOpeSS fall short OF be-
ing II success.
The Chairman ledge passes through the
entire length of the Chairman mine to the
west end of the location and continue on
it's westward course through the Turkey
and mines. These mines are but little
prospeeted, and nothing is known OF their
value except that they are Oh 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
8 large vein of ore that assays SIS to the ton
in gold The deepest workings are about
115 feet where the ore is found ut 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.
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
wide and assays So 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 d; Heusser. There is q shaft 80 feet
deep and an open cut upon the mine In
which ore has been deyeloped that assays
$40 per ton in gold. West O., the Chairman
group lies the
ROB ROY MINE,
The property of Captain Carpenter, Hip
and others. The claim has been develop
ed by d series of tunnels in which some
very good ore has been found. DIVINE to
the presence of water near the surface the
ore is not free, but is in sulphurate form
The owners have expended at least tive
thousand dollars on the property. Adioin-
ing the Rob Roy on the west is
THE LOS ANGELES,
The property of VIM. Watson, Leach Bros.
and others. There is shaft and tunnel
upon the mine on which the owners have
uOue couslueThDlo Work anu eXpGsed Sonle
ore. A general sample taken assayed $50 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,
own d 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
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 old shafts upon the ledge
assayed $1S in gold. The ore is free and of
the same character found in the above de-
scribed mines. This is considered to be
Que of the best locations in the district.
West of the Saxton is
THE AURORA GROUP,
Owned by Messrs. Graham, Williamson and
Rockhlll The group jig composed of four
mines, the Katy G, Emma q, Oregon and
tunnel liz feet long and a shaft So feet
deep and a tunnel rs 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 $lO in gold
merit, the ledge being very strong and well
defined. 1t is understood in this vicinity
that this property Is under bond to New
York parties
The Rosebud mine il to the west of the
Aurora group and is the property of Mr.
ROckhill. There is "a 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

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
