DRIFT the ledge is again crosseut to the soutia
a distance Of IS teet IN S. gold ore. Thirtt
five feet further east tho ledge IS ag1h
crosseut 10 the south distance Of - tect "a
s. gold ere. A In distance OF 20 feet further
east in the east drift, the Wine 10 the upper
level il reached, which is referred TO above.
A. the bottom OF this Ninze DRIFT lends 10
the north % feet cutting through q small
point OF lime md opens again into large
chamber from which large quantity o.
ore has been stopped. This Slope extends
200 TO the northwest and % feet southeast,
and to the level above. The ore taken
from this portion Of the mine was hie1
grade. Samples een be and running int
the thousands, but the average would prob
ably reach S35 TO SO per ton There nav
been several thousand tons OF thls or
worked at the Chairman mill. There still
remains several thousand tons OF eeuai-
ity in the mine There Is no tnoiat'ts2A OF
the south wall OF the mine hAyl2 sep
reached It is also questionable iat1
the northwest has been reached. = the
common opinion thaf the south OF 335aE
wall is shale, and that the nnr;st Of -
wall is p0rphyJy. Through tic 'iat' II
many places punches Of lime ~" l0epd
but thus lar they have been pllL a4intAes,
ore being found On each side OF the lime.
The ore in the Chairman group is similar
to that in the Aulrman and Joanna mines,
possibly not so Tree as that In the last
named mine The reduction OF this ore has
all been with the ordinary stamp mill,
The Inst work showed saving OF about 90
per cent OF the gold while at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved A consideraDle
portion OF the gold that is not free is found
in white carbonate OF lead, and another
portion is found in a heavy black IRON,
either OF which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process rs
been used upon the tailings at the Chain
man mill, The tailings carrying some free
geld, and gold alloyed with the carbonate
OF lead, makes the process fall short OF be-
ing q success
The Chairman ledge passes through the
entire length Of the Chairman mine to the
west end OF the location aud continue on
its westward course through the Turkey
and mines. These mines are but little
proSpected, and nothing is known OF thelr
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 IRON
one Of the shafts assaYed $27 per ton. Be
tween the southern Cross and Che Chain
man mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
The property of Messrs. Simpon, Campton,
Harris and others, There is 81 shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
large Vein OF ore that assays So to the ton
in gold. The deepest wee kings are about
175 feet. where the ore is found at the bot
tom; but very little prospecting has been
South OF the Chairman LES the
ELY NINE,
The property of Geuerai Thomas and T.
NJ. Clark The working consist OF tun-
mel 10 feet long, at the eod q which a shaft
is sunk in the ledge, which is nboutsix Feet
wide and assays IS per ten IN gold. The
ledge can be traced the entire length Gf
the mine. South OF the us and to the
western end lies
