! Ave ieet further east tho ledge is again
| crosscut to the south distance OF ~ 1eet III
! IS gold ore At a distance OF 20 feet furtner
b east in the east drift the WINE TO the upper
level is reached, which is referred TO ABOVE.
| At the bottom of this winze DRIFT leadS 70
the north % feet, cutting through small
point of lime and opens again INTO large
| Chamber from which large quantity OF
ore has been stopped. This Slope eXtends
200 to the northwest and 70 feet soutneasI
and TO the level above. The ore taken
from this portion of the mine was hlgn
grade. Samples can be had running lnto
the thousands, but the average would PROB
ably reach S35 to $40 per ton. Ihere nave
been several thousand tons CT this ore
worked at the Chairman mill. There stlli
remains several tn ousand tons OF same quaI.
itv in the mine. There is no indication OF
the south wall of the mine having Teen
reached it is also questionable Whelhef
the northwest has been reached. 1t Is the
common opinion that the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the north or 1901
wall is porphy1y. Through the mine IN
many places lunches OF lime are found;
but thus far they have been but bunches,
ore being found on each side of the m }.
The ore in the Chairman group is slm1laf
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
all been with the ordinary. stamp MIL,
using copper plates for saving. The gold.
The last work showed a saving OF about GO
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved. A conslderaole
portion Of the gold that is not free is found
in white carbonate OF lead, and another
portion is found in heavy black IRON,
either of which can be readily saved, by
concentration. The cyanide process ne s
been used upon the tailings at the Chain
man mill, The tailings carrying some Tree
gold, and gold ailoyed 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 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 Chainman 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 essayed $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 and
South OF the Grammar hes the
ELY MINE,
The property of General Thomas and T.
| NJ. Clark. The workings consist of tun-
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and assays $5 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 x Heusser. There is shaft 80 fee
| deep and an open cut upon the mine II
which ore has been developed that assay
$40 per ton in gold. West of the Chairman
group lies the
ROB ROY MINE,
The property of Captain Carpenter, Hill
and others. The claim has been develop
| ed by series OF tunnels in which some
very good ore has been found. Owing &c
| the presence OF water near the surface the
| ore is not free, but is in & sulphurate 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, Leach Bros
and others. There is a shaft and tunnel
upon the mine on which the owners have
| done considerable work and exposed some
ore. A general sample taken assayed $50 pei
| ION IL SOIu. A lOG Oh SpCOt-i-plaS5 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 inson 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 ever the mines. The prospect
| is covered by U. s. patent and has remain
ed idle for many, years: A sample taken
from one of the old shafts upon the ledge
| assayed 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 q, Emma g, Oregon and
Mount Morgan. The working consists Of a
tunnel liz feet long and a shaft 35 feet
deep and q 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 ssxton 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 is shaft upon this mine
40 feet deep and q tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth So per ton in gold.
Continuing to the southwark on the main
mineral belt, but a 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, and nothing can be said as to their
value, except that they all show the same
ledge matter and are Of the character that
