five feet further east tho ledge is again
crosseut to the south distance of 40 feet in
S. gold ore. A la distance of 20 feet further
east in the east drift, the Wine to the upper
level is reached, which is referred 70 above.
At the bottom Of this Wine drift leads to
the north % feet cutting through small
point OF lime and opens again into large
chamber from which q large quantity OF
200 to the northwest and 20 feet southeast,
and 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 $35 to $40 per ton. There have
been several thousand tons of this ore
worked ut 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 punches of lime ar. found;
but thus far they have been but punches,
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 has
all been with the ordinary stamp null,
using copper plates for saving he gold.
The last work showed saving of about 60
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved. A cOnslderabie
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 can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process ht
been used upon the tailings at the Chain
man mill, The tailines carrying some free
gold, and gold alloyed with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process iall 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
its westward course through the Iu,fIk haiy
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 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 $7 peT ton Be-
tween the Southern Cross and the Chain
man mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
The property Of Mcssrs Simpon, Campton,
Harris and others, There is 81 shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
a large vein Of ore that assays s. 10 the ton
in gold. The deepest workings are about
115 feet. where the ore is found NJ 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 General Thomas and f.
NJ. Clark. The workings consist OF a tun-
nel 30 feet long, al the end OF which shaft
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and assays - per ton IN gold the
ledge can be traced the entire lenQth Of
the mine. South OF the Ely and to the
western end lies

South Of the Rob ROY mite lies

Owned by Samuel Parl iuson and others.
The owners have done some work on the
mine and developed some 3Ta.
Adjoining the Los Ap2eles mine on the
west is the SaXton, the property Of COY
ernor Mckinley and others At this point
the ledge is very strong. Crop
pings sre fofad high above the surface in
many places over the mines. The prospect

ed idle for many years. a sample taken
from one of the old sh ITS 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 ana
Rockhill. The group IL composed of four
mines, the Katy G., Emma G., Oregon and
Mount Morgan The working consists Of a
tunnel III feet long and a shaft 50 feet
deep and a tunnel IS feet long. At the
shaft there is 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 SaXtCn this property hos 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
Inc Rosebud mlne Is TO the west OF the
Aurora group and is the property of Mr..
Rockhill. There lisa shaft upon this mine
AZ feet deep and " tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth S. per ton in gold
Continuing to the southwark on themain
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
pected, and nothing eau be said as TO their
value, except that they all show the sam e
ledge matter and are OF the character that
is found in The previously described mines.
