/ the south wall of the mine having teen
! reached ii is also questionable whether
! the northwest has been reached. II Is the
! common opinion that the south or hanging
/ wall is shale. and that the north or loot
! wall is pOrphyry. Througn tue mine IN
many places punches OF lime are found;
! but thus far they have been but ~ inches,
ore being found on each side Of the lime
! The ore in the Chairman group is similar
to that in the Aultman and Joanna miues,
! 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 lhe gold.
! The last work showed a saving OF about 90
! per cent OF the gold, while at the beginning
! 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 s0Ved by
concentration. The cyanide process hts
| been used upon the tailings at the Chain
man mill, The tailings carrying some free
! gold, and gold alloyed with the carbonate
| of lead. makes the process fall snort OF be-
! ing Ii 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 Turkey
| and mines. These mines are but little
prospected, and nothing is known Of their
| value except that they are on the cX-
| tension fthe Chairman and Aultmau 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 81 GER ton. Be-
! tween the Southern Cross ana the Chain
