! chamber from which large quantity OF
ore has been stopped. This Slope extends
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 $50 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 .een
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 lunches of lime are 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 mill,
using copper plates for saving The gold.
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved. conslderahle
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 hts
been used upon the tailings at the Chain
man mill, The talinpS carrying some free
gold, and gold alleged with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process fall short OF be-

The Chairman ledge passes through the
entire length Of the Chairman mine TO the
west eud of the location and continue on
its 49,. FArd course through the Turkey
am mines. These mines are but little
prospectcd and nothing is known OF their
value except that they are on the eX-
tension of the Chairman and Aultman lode.
The same eau be said OF the Southern Cross
mine. There is some more work done upon
the Southern Cross Samples taken from
one of the shafts nssayed $27 per ton. Be
tween the Southern Cross and the Chain
man mines lies the
