200 to the northwest and 90 feet southeast,
aud to the Level above. The ore taken
from this portion Of the mine was high
grade Samples can be had running into
the thousands, but the average would PROB
ably reach S35 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 teen
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 loot
wall is porphy1y. Through the nine IN
many places punches OF lime ar" loqnd
but thus far they have been but 1"nches,
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 one mas
all been with the ordinary stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving ihe gold.
The last work showed saving OF about 60
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
but 10 per cent was saved. COnsldeTaDle
portion of the gold that is net 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 NJ g
been used upon the taiiings at the Ch@ an,
man mill, The tailinps carrying some Tree
gold, and gold alloyed with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process fall short oi be-
ing q success. r
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 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 and Auitman lode.
The same can be said Of the Southern Cross
mine There is some mera work done upon
the Southern Cross. Samples thKea from
one of the shafts assayed 81 per ton. Be
tween the Southern Cross and the CHAIN
man mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
The property Of Messrs Simp0n, CAmpton,
Harris aud others, There is shaft aud
other workings upon the mine that expose
q large vein of ore tnat assays s. to the ton
in gold. The deepest workings are about
115 feet. where the ore Is found at the bot
done. West of the Golden Revenue and
South Of the Chairman lies the
ELY NINE,
The property of General Thomas and F.
NJ. Clark. The workings consist Of q tun-
mol 40 feet long, at the end Of which a shaft
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and assays - per ton lr gold. the
ledge can be traced the entire lenpth Of
the mine. South Of the Ely and to the
western end lies
THE MoHAwK,
The property CT Messrs. Thomas, Clark,
Weber Il Heusser. There is a shaft 80 feet
deep and nj open eur upon the mine in
which ore HIS been developed that assays
$40 per ton in gold. West Of the Chalnman
group lies the
ROB ROY MINE,
The property Of Captain Carpenter. Uilp
And others. The claim has been develop
ed hy SaTies of tunnels in which some
very good ore has been found. Owing to
she presence of water near the surface the
ore ls nos frce, but is in q sulphurGte form
The owners have expended at least five
thousand dollars on the property. Adioii
ing the ROD Roy on the W"st is
THE LOS AHGELEs
The property of VIM. Watson. Leach Bros.
and others. There is Il shaft and tunnel
upon the mine on which the owners have
done considerable work and exposed some
ore. A general sample taken assayed So uer
ton in gold. lot of second class ore wor k
ed ut the Chairman mill yielded 81 in gold.
South of the Rob Roy mine lies
CHIEF OF THE HILL,
owned by Samue, Pari inson and others.
The owners have done some work on the
niue and developed some ore.
Adjoining the Los Angeles mine onsthe
west is the SaXton, the property OF Gov
ernor Mckinley and others At this point
the ledge is very strong. Crop
plugs are found high above the surface in
,,N1n l, .Nat
is covered by U. s. patent and has remain
ed idle for many years. 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 ie composed Of four
mines, the Katy G, Emma &, Oregon and
Mount Morgan. The working consists Of a
tunnel liz feet long and shaft 50 feet
deep and q tunnel IS feet long. At the
shaft there is q 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 Saxton this property has great
merit, the ledge being very strong and well
defined. 1t is understood in this vicinity
that this property ls under bond to New
York parties
The Rosebud mine is to tho west of the
Aurora group and is the property of Mr..
Rockhill There is a shaft upon this mine
10 feet deep and a tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth So per ton in gold.
Continuing to the southwark on the main
mineral belt, but 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
peeted, aud nothing can be said as to their
value, except that they all show the same
ledge matter aud are of the character chat
