i've teet furtneT east tho i4dge Is aShlu
crosScut to the south distance Of 40 feet IN
IS gold ore A Ia distance of 20 feet further
east in the east drift, the VIM to the upper
level is reached, which is referred to above.
At the bottom OF this Wine II Crift leads to
the north % feet, cutting through small
point of lime aud opens again into 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 CT the mine was high
grade Samples can be had running into
the thousands, but the average would prob
ably reach $35 to $40 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
ity in the mine. There is no indication OF
the south wall OF the mine having cen
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 mine in
many places bunches Of lime ar. found ;
but thus far they have been but 1nnches,
ore being found on each side of the lime.
The ore in the Chairman group is 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 mas
all been with the ordinary stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving The gold
The last work showed a saving of about 90
per cent Of the gold, while at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved cons!derable
portion Of the gold that is not Tree is found
in white carbonate of lead, and another
portion is found in a heavy black iron,
either of which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process ht 8
been used upon the tailings at the Cnain-
man mill, The tailinPs carrying some nee
gold and gold alloyed 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
west end of the location and CONTINUE on
it's westward course through the Turkey
and V 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 aud 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 81 per ton. Be
tween the Southern Cross and the Chain
man mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
Tho property of Messrs. Simpon, Campton,
Harris and others, There is a ahAft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
q large vein Of ore that assays s. to the ton
in gold. The deepest workings are about
115 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 Chairman lies the
The property of General Thomas and f.
NJ. Clark. The workings consist of n tun-
mel 40 feet long, at the end of which shaft
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and assays s. per ton in gold. Thr
ledge can I've traced the entire ZENITH ot
the mine. South Of the Ely aud to tne
western end lies
TIE MOHAWK,
The property of Mcssrs. Thomas, Clark,
Weber Il HeusseT. There il n hat 30 feet
deep aud an open eat upon the mine in
which orc has beeu developed that assays
$40 per ton in gold. West Of the Chairman
group lies the

South OF the Rob Roy mine lies
CHIEF OF THE HILL,
Owned by Samuel Parl iuson and oth.rs.
The owners have done some work on thc
mine and developed som. ore.
Adjoininp the Los Angeles mine on the
west is the SaXtOu, the property of Gov
eTnor Mckinley aud 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 YEAR,. sample taken
from one of the old shafts upon the ledge
assayed SIS in gold. The ore is free and OF
the same character fonnd 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 MorPan. The working consists Of d
tunnel III feet long and a shaft 80 feet
deep and a tunuel Is feet long. At the
shaft there is a body Of very good ore as-
saying 81 per ton in free gold. The ledge
is seven feet wide, and i'll some places very
strong. The groupings assay $40 in gold.
Like the Saxton this property has great
merit, the ledge being very strong and we'll
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 Il shaft upon this mine
10 feet deep and tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth S. 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
OF 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
is found in the previously described mines.
