a distance OF 35 teet in IS 70 q ore. Ihlrty-
Eve feet further east tho ledge Is again
crosscut to the south a distance OF 40 feet IN
IS gold ore. Ia distance OF 20 feet further
east Ia the east drift, the Wine to the upper
level is reached, which Is referred 70 ABOVE.
All the bottom Of this winze a drift leadsIo
the north 2S feet cutting through small
point OF lime and opens again into large
chamber from which large quantity OF
ore has been stopped. This stope extends
900 to the northwest and % feet southeast,
and to the leves above. The ore taken
from this portion Of the mine was nlgn
grade Samples can be had running into
the thousands, but the average would prob
ably reach s35 to $40 per ton. There nave
been several thousand tons OF TINS ore
worked at the Chairman mill. There sui
remains several thousand tons OF same quairr
ity in the nine There is no indication OF
the south wall of the mine having Teen
reached il 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 porphyfy. Through the mine IN
many places punches of lime ar found;
but thus far they have been but lunches,
ore being found on each side OF the lime.
The ore in the Chairman group is similar
to that in the Aultman aud Joana 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 ne goia q,
n
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved. conSlderAbic
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 has
been used upon the tailings at the Chain-
man mill, The tailings carrying some free
gold, and gold alleged with the carbonate
OF lead, makes the process fall snort 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 mines. These mines are but littir
prespected, and nothing is known Of their
value except that they are on the ex-
tension of the chairman and Aultman lode.
The same can be said ofthc Southern Cross
mine. There is some more work done uFon
the Southern Cross. Samples taksn 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. Simpon, Compton,

South of the Chairman lies the

Adjoinine the Los Angeles mine on the
west is the SaxtoD. the property OF Cry
ernor Mckinley aud others. At this point
the ledge is very strong. Crop
pings % found high above the surface in
many ees over the mines. The prospect
is coy a., ID by U. 8. patent and has remain
ed idle Tor many year,. a sample taken
from one OF the old shafts upon the ledge
assayed SIS in gold. The ore is free and OF
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
Roekhill. The group IL composed OF four
mines, the katy G, Emma q, Oregon and
Mount MORGAN The working consists of
tunnel III feet long and d shaft 30 feet
deep and tunnel 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 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 Is under bond 10 New
York parties
The Rosebud mine is to the west OF the
