the south wall OF the mine having cen
+ reached It Is aIso questionable whether
;he northwest has been reached. 1t is the
common opinion that the south OF hanging
wall is shale, aud that the north or foot
wall is porphyry. Through tie mine III
many places punches OF lime az" lanEd;
but thus far they have been but lunches,
ore being found OH each side of the lime.
! The ore in the Chairman group IS similar
to that in the Aultman and Jonna mines,
possibly net SO free as that il the last
named mine. The reduction OF this ore mas
all been with the ordinary. stamp mill,
rising copper plates for saving he gold.
The last work showed a saving OF about 60
per cent of the gold, while at The beglnnlng
but 10 per cent WAS saved. considerable
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 CEN be realty saVeG by
concentration. The cyanide process IL 8
been used upon the tailings at the Chain
man mill, The tailings carrying some free
gold, and god alloyed with the CARGO nate
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 the
west end of the location and continue GA
its westward course through the Turkey
and mines. These mines ale but little
prcspeete.t, and notbiHp Il Known OF their
value except that they are Gu the eX-
tension OF the Chairman AID Auitl1an lode.
The same can be said OF the southern Cross
niue. There is some more work done upon
the Southern Cross Samples taken from
one of the shafts assayea 81 per ton. Be
tween the Southern Cross and tile Chain
man mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
Tha property Of Messrs. Simp0n, Camptou,
Harris and others, There is q shaft aud
other workings ppoa the mine that expose
Il l9rge vein OF ore that assays 50 10 the ton
in gold. The deepest workings are about
lis feet. where tire orc 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 Geueral Thomas and F.

mel 40 feet long, at the end of which shaft
is sunk ia the ledge, which Is about 81, faae

from one of the old shafts upon the ledge
assayed SIS in gold TIE ore is free aud OF
the same character follnd in the above de-
scribed mines Inis 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
Rockhiil. The group is composed Of foHr
mines the Katy q, Emma g, Oregon aud
Mount Morgan. The working consists Of Il
tunnel III feet long md shaft s. feet
deep and a tunnel 10 feet long. At tae
shaft there is Il body of very good Gre MS
saying 81 per ton in free gold. The ledge
is seven feet wide, and in some places very
strong. The croppiags assay $40 in gold.
Like the saxton this property has great
merit, the ledge being very stronP and we'll
defined. 1t is understood in this vicinity
that this property Is under bond to New

The Rosebud mine is to the west OF tie
Aurora group and is the property OF Mr.
Rockhill. There lisa shaft upon this mine
40 feet deep and ii tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth So per ton in gold.
