grade Samples can BE had running into
the thousands, but the average would prob
ably reach $35 to $io 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

! the south wall Of the mine having zen
reached it is also questionable whether
the northwest has been reached. 1t is the
common opinion that the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the north or foot
wall is porphy1y. Through the nine in
many places punches OF lime a" loInd;
but thus far they have been but nH1cheE,
ore being found on each side Of the lime.
The ore in the Chairman group is similar
to that in the Aultmau aud Joanna miues,
possibly not SO free rs that in the last
named mine. The reduction OF this ore has
all been with the ordinary stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving he gold.
The last work showed q saving of about 60
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved. couslderable
portion OF the gold that is not free '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 has
been used upon the tailings at the Chain
man mill, The taiiings carrying some free
gold, and gold a,loyed with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process fall short OF be-
ing Il success.
The Chairman ledge passes through the
entire length Of the Chairman mine to tue
west end of the location and continue on
its westward course through the Turkey
and Y mines. These mines ale but little
prospected, and nothing is known Of their
value except that they are on the eX-
tension of the Chairman aud Aultman lode.
The same can he 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 aud the Chain
man mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
The property of Messrs. Smpon, Campton,
Harris and others. There is 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
ELY MINE,
The property of General Thomas and F.
NJ. Clark. The workings consist of tun-
mel 40 feet long, at the end Of which shaft
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and assays - per ton IN gold. The
ledge can be traced the entire lenPth OF
the mine. South of the Ely and to the
western end lies
TIE MOHAWK,
The property of Ncssrs. Thomas, Clark,
Weber d Heusscr. There Is a shaft 30 feet
deep and an open cut upon tile mine in
which ore has been developed THAT assays

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

West OF the SaXtOn is
THE AURORA GROUP,
Owned by Messrs. Graham, Williamson and
Rockhill. The group is composed of four
mines, the Katy &, Emma G, Oregon ana
Mount MorPan. The working consists 81 d
tunnel l12 feet long and 8 shaft s. feet
deep aud tunnel - feet long. At the
shaft there is body OF very good ore US
saying 81 per ton in free gold. The ledge
j. seven feet wide and in some places very
sstrong. 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
Rockhill. There lisa shaft upon this mine
4G feet deep and tunnel leo feet long which
expose ogl worth $5 per ton in gold.
Continuing to the southwark GA the main
r1iD:ral bale, hut great many locations
are passed over. all of which have

or less gold. They are but slightly pros
