from this portion of the mine was high
grade. Samples can be had running INTO
the thousands, but the average would prop
ably reach $35 to $40 per ton. Ihere nave
been several thousand tons OF thls ore
worked at the Chairman mill. There sui

common opinion that the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the north or foot
wall is porphy1y. Through the mine IN
many places punches of lime are found;
but thus far they have been but punches,
ore being found on each side of the lin ;.
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 has

| The last work showed a saving of about 90
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
! but 40 per cent was saved A consideraple
| portion of the gold that is not free is found
| in white carbonate of lead, and another
portion is found in IA heavy black iron,
either of which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process he $

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 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 shaft and
! other workings upon the mine that expose
a large vein of ore that assays 80 to the ton
| US 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
| 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 d 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 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 i'll .ulphurate 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, LeSch 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 $50 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 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. 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 aud 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 G., Emma &, Oregon and
Mount MORGAN. The working consists of a
| tunnel III feet long and shaft 50 feet
! deep and tunnel rs feet long. At the
shaft there is a 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 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 and is the property OF Mr..
| Rockhill. There isa shaft upon this mine
| 40 feet deep and a tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth SIS 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
