using copper plates for saving he gold.
The last work showed saving OF about To
per cent OF the gold, while at the beginning
portion OF the gold that is not free is found
in white carbonate of lead, and another
portion is found in heavy black IRON,

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 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 a 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 ana
South of the Chairman lies the
ELY NINE,
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 aoout six feet
wide and assays IS per ton IL 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 4. Heusser. There is 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
| aud 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 in q sulphurate form
| The owners have expended at least five
| thousand dollars on the property. Adloin-
| ing the Rob Roy on the west is
THE LOS ANGELES,
The property Of VIM. Watson, Leach Bros.
md others. There is a shaft aud tunnel
upon the mine on which the owners have
done considerable work and exposed some
| ore. A general sample taken assayed SO rer
| ton in gold. A lot of secopd-cla 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 PARK iuson 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 sh ats upon the ledge
assaysd 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 G., Emma G, Oregon and
Mount Morpan. The working consists of a
tunnel I12 feet long and a shaft 80 feet
deep and tunnel rs feet long. AT the
shaft there is 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
| merit, the ledge being very strong aud well
| defined. 1t is understood in this vicinity
! that this property Is under bond to New
| York parties
The Rosebud mile is to the west of the
Aurora group and is the property of Mr..
| Rockhill. There is shaft upon this mine
40 feet deep and tunnel 100 feet long which
| expose ore worth s. per ton in gold.
| Continuing to the southwark on the main
are passed over, all of which have
some work done upon them and show more
or less gold. They are but slightly pros
pected, and nothing can be said as to their
ledge matter and are of the character that
! is found in the previously described mines,
