| The ore in the Chairman group is similar

| possibly not so free as that ia the last

all been with the ordinary stamp mil,
using copper plates for saving he goia;
! The last work showed y saving of about 20
per centof the gold, while at The beginning
| but 40 per cent was saved. cOnslderabie
portion OF the gold that is not free is found
| in white carbonate of lead, and another
portion is found in q heavy black 1rpp,
either OF which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process ht
been used upon the tailings at the Chain

gold, aud gold alleged with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process fall short OF De
inc q success.
rhe Chairman ledge passes through the
entire length of the Chainman mine to the
