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
and mines. These mines are Dut 1ttle
prospected, and nothing is known OF their
value except that they are on the eX-
tension of the Chainmau 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 n shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
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 Il tun-
mel 40 feet long, ut 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 x Heusser There is q 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 IA 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
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 $75 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 by Samuel Parl inson and others
The owners have done some work on the
mine aud 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. 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 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 &, Emma G, Oregon and
Mount MORGAN. The working consists of a
tunnel III feet long and shaft 81 feet
deep and tunnel IS 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
AiNIity tiO iSoSE DSilS Va SlIOuS ulll well
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 aud is the property of Mr..
Roekhill., There isa shaft upon this mine
10 feet 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 uDOn them and show more
or less gold They are but slightly pros
pected. and nothing can be Said as to their
