five feet further cast tho ledge is again
crosse 1T to the south n distance OF 40 feet in
IS gold ore. A Ia distance Of 20 feet further
east in the east Drift, the Wine to the upper
level is reached, which is referred to above.
At the bottom OF this Wine drift leads to
the north 2S feet, cntting through small
point OF lime ana opens again into large
chamber from which a large quantity Of
200 to the northwest and 20 feet south east,
and to the level above. The ore taken
from this portion of the mine WIS high
grade. Samples can be had running in 70
the thousands, but the average would prob
ably reach $35 to $40 per ton. There have
been several thousand tons OF this ore
worked at the Chairman mill. There still
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 wheth n
the northwest has been reached 1t is the
common opinion that the south or hangine
wall is shale, and that the north or foot
wall is porphy1y Through tie mine in
many places punches OF lime arr found;
but thus far they have.been but lunches,
ore being found on each side of the lime
The ore i'll the Chairman group is similar
to thet in the Aultmau and Joanna mines,
possibly not SO free as that in the last
named mine. The reduction of this ore IS
all been with the ordinary stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving The gold.
The last work showed u saving Of aDOut so
per cent of the gold, while at the beginnl y
but 40 per cent was saved. considerable
portion Of the gold that is not free is found
in white carbonate of lead, and another
portion is found in q heavy black iron,
either of which can be readily saved by
The cyanide process h 5
man mill, The tailings carrying some rec
gold, and gold alleged with the carbonate
of lead, makeS the process fall short OF be-
ing q success.

entire length of the Chainman mine to the
west end OF the location and continue on
its westward course through the Turkey
and Y 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 AultInan lode.
The same cam he said OF the Southern Cross
niue. There is some more work done upon
the Southern Cross. Samples taken from
one Of the shafts assayed S2T per Ton. Be-
tween the Southern Cross and tbe 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
o large vein OF ore That ASSAYS IS to the ton
in gold The deepest workings are about
175 feet where he 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 NINE,
The property of General Thomas and F.
NJ. Clark. Ihe workings consist of a tun-
nel 40 feet long, st 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 lie traced the entire lenpth of
the mine. South OF the Ely and to the
western end lies
THE MOHAWK,
The property OF MesSrs Thomas, Clark
Weber d licusser. There is a shaft 80 feet
deep and an OYen cut upon the mine in
which ore has baeu developed that assays
10 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

Inc e@hars have expended at least ive
thousand doilNTs on the property. AdioiD-

THE LOS ANGELES.

cnIET OF THE KILL,
Owned by Sanuel Pnrt iason and others
The owners nave done some work on the
Lniue and developed some ore.
AdjoihipP the Los Angeles mine on the
West is the SaXtCn, the propertY Of Gov
arnOr Mckinley and Others. AT this point
the led9e IS very strong. Crop
pings are found high above the surface in
al ,,s.s tanr t,iaae no
IN covered by u. s. pate mt and mas remain
ed idle for many years. A sample Ia ken
from one Of the old shafts upon the ledge
assayed $15 IN gold. The ore is Tree and of
the same character found in The above de-
scribet mines. This is considered 10 be
one of the best locations in the district.
West Of the SaXton is
TIE AURORA GROUP,
Owned by Nessrs. Graham, Williamson and
Rockhll The group is composed of four
mines, the Katy q, Emma G Oregon and
Mount Morgan. The working consists Of q
tunnel III feet long and q shaft So feet
deep and tunnel rs feet long At the
saying 81 per ton in free gold. The ledge
Is seven feet wide, and il. some places very
strong. The cYoppings assay $40 in gold
Like the SaXton this property has great
merit, the le6ge being very StrOnP aud well
defined. 1t is understood in this vicinity
that this property is under bond to New
York parties
The Rosebud mine is 0 the west Of the
Aurora group and is the property OF Mr.
Rockhiu. There is shaft upon this mine
~ feet deep and q tunnel 100 long which
expose ore worth IS 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, auG 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.
