five feet further east tho ledge is again
crosseut to the south a distance OF 40 feet in
SIS gold ore. A Ia distance OF 20 feet further
east in the east drift, Che Wine to the upper
level is reached, which is referred to above.
At the bottom OF this Win2e drift leads to
the north % feet, cutting through small
point OF lime and opens again into 8 large
chamber from which large quantity OF
ore has been stopped. This stope. extends
200 to the northwest and 20 feet southeast,
and to the leyc, above. The ore taken
from this portion CT 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 seen
reached it is also questionable whether
the northwest has been reached. It is the
common opinion that the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the north or loot
wall is porphy1y. Through the mine in
many places lunches of lime arr 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 Anltman 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 he gold
The last work showed a saving OF about 90
per cent of the gold, Will at the beginning
but 20 per cent was saved. A considerable
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 ne
been used upon the tailings at the Chain
man mill, The tailiugs carrying some free
gold, and gold alloyed with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process fall short OF be-
ing success.
The Chairman ledge passes through the
entire length Of the Chainman mine TO the
west end of the location and continue on
its westward course through the Turkey
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 and Aultman lode.
The same eau he said Of the Southern Cross
mine. There is some more work done upon
the Southern Cross. samples taken from
one of the shafts assayed $27 per ton. Be
tween the Southern Cross ana the Ch0ln-
man mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
The property of Messrs Simpon, Campton,
Harris and others, There is shaft and
other workings upon the mine thatexpose
a large vein OF ore that ASSAYS s. TO the ton
in gold. The deepest workings are, about
10 feet. where the ore is found at 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 q tun-
mel 10 feet long, at the end OF which q shalt
is sunk in the ledge which is about six feet
wide and assays 50 per ton in gold. The
ledge can be traced the entire leUgth OF
the mine. South of the Ely and to the
western end lies
THE MOHAWK,
The property Of Messrs Thomas. Ciark.
Weber 4 Heusser. There is IL Shat 81 feet
seen and sn omen cut uppn the mine in
which ore has been developed thaF assays
$40 per ton ia gold. West Of the Chainnau
group lies the

South of the Rob Roy mine lies
CHEF OF THE HILL,
Owned by Samuel Parkinson and others.
The owners have done some work on the
mine and developed some ore.
Adjoining the Los Angeles 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 are found high above the surface in
many places over the mines The prospect
is covered by U. S. patent and has remain
ed idle for many years. A sample taken
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 i'll the district.
West OF the Saxton is
THE AURORA GROUP,
Owned by Messrs Graham, Williamson and
Rockhill The group is composed of four
Mount MORGAN. The working consists Of
tunnel 10 feet long aud a shaft 80 feet
deep and q tunnel rs feet long At the
shaft there Is body of. very good ore as
saying y. 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 to New
York parties
The Rosebud mine is to the west of the
Aurora group and is the property of Mr..
Rockhili. There is a shaft upon this mine
40 feet deep and d tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth So per ton in gold.
Continuing to the southwark on the main
mineral belt, but a 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 and nothing can be said as to their
value, except that they all show the same
