aud to the level above. The ore taken
from this portion OF the mine WAS high
grade. Samples can be u al running into
the thousands, but the average would prob
ably reach $50 TO $40 per ton. There have
been several thousand tons Of this ore
worked ut the Chairman mill. There still
remains several thousand tons OF snafe quail
ity in the mine There is no indication OF
the south wall OF the mine hesiak zen
reached it is also questionable Nnstaar
the northwest has been reached til taa
common opinion that the south OF naTting
wall is shale, and that the nofsE ca fneg
wall is porphyfy. Through the iaiGe n

but thus lar they have been hut a'nches,
ore being found on each side OF the lime.
The ore IN the Chainman group is similar
to that in the Anltman and Joana 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 q saving of about so
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved A considerable
portion OF the gold that is not free is found
in white carbonate of lead, and another
portion is found Ia a heavy black iron,
either of which can b. readily saved BY
concentration. The cyauide process ht :
been used upon the faiiings at the Chain
man mill The taiIinrs carrying some free
gold, and gold alloyed it'll the carbonate
of lead, makes the process fall short OF be-
ing success.
The Chairman ledge passes through the
entire length Of the Chairman mine to the
1r.t
its westward course through the Turkey
aud mines. These mines are bnt 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 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 aud others, There is shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
a large vein of ore thai assays S to the ton

175 feet. where the ore Is found at the bot
tom; but very little prospecting has been
done. West of the G0ltien Revenue and

The property of General Thomas and F.
NJ. Clark. The workings consist Of a tun-
mel 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 ienrth 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 shaft 50 feet
