five feet further east tho ledge is again
| crosscut to the south a distance of 40 feet in
IS gold ore. Ia distance of 20 feet further
east in the east drift, the Wine to the upper
level is reached, which is referred to above.
At the bottom of this Wine drift leads to
the north Is feet, cutting through small
point of lime and opens again into a large
chamber from which large quantity OF
! ore has been stopped. This stOpe extends
200 to the northwest and 20 feet southeast,
and to the level above The ore taken
from this portion cf the mine was hlgh
grade. Samples can be had running into
the thousands, but the average would prob
| ably reach $35 to $40 per ton. There nave
been several thousand tons of this ore
! worked at the chairman MILL There still
remains several thousand tons ofsame quail
ity in the mine. There is no indication oil
| the south wall of the mine having Teen
reached it is also questionable whether
| common opinion that the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the north or foot
wall is porphyry. Through the mine in
| many places punches of lime arg found;
but thus far they have been but punches,
ore being found on each side of the lime.
The ore in the Chairman groupis similar
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 mill
using copper plates for saving The gold
| The last work showed saving OF about 6o
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
! but 40 per cent was saved. considerable
| portion of the gold that is not free is found
! in awhile 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 tailings carrying some free
| gold, and gold alleged with the carbonate
| of lead, makes the process fall short OF be-
] ing a success.
| The Chairman ledge passes through the
entire length of the Chairman mine to the
| cd IS 10 Iona finJI 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
