drift the ledpe is again ross 10 the south
a distance Of % teet in IS go ore. Thirty
live feet further east tho ledge is again
croSscut to the south a distance Of 40 feet in
IS gold ore A Ia distance Of 20 feet further
east in the east drift, the winc 10 the upper
level is reached, which is referred to above.
AT the bottom OF this Wine d Gfift leads to
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
300 to the northwest and 20 feet southeast,
and to the Level above. The ore taken
from this portion Of the mine was h1gn
grade. Samples can be had running into
the thousands, but the average would prob
ably reach $50 to $40 per ton. There nave
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 zen
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 loot
wall is pOrph wy. Through tie "ine IN
many places punches Of lime arr l0rnd;
but thus far they have been but n'lrofes,
ore being found on each side OF the lime.
TIE ore in the Chairman group is similar
10 that in the Allltmau and Joanna mines,
possibly not so free as that in the last
named mine. The reduction Of this ore mas
oil been with the ordinary stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving he goiG.
The last WORK showed q saving of about 90
per cent Of the gold, while at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved. a conslderable
portion of the gold that is not free is found
in white carbonate of lead, and another
portion is found in a 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 short OF be-
ing q success.
The Chairman ledge passes through the
entire length Of the Cnainman mine tn the
west end of the location and continue on
it's westward course through the Turkey
aud V mines. These mines are but little
uroSpectcd. and nothing Is known OF their
valre except that they are on the eX-
tension OF the chairman aud Aultnan lode.
The same can be said OF The Southern Cross
mine. There is some mere work cone upon
the Southern Cross. Samples taken from
one of the shafts assayed ~ per ton. Be-
tween the Southern Cross and the Chain
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 that expose
large vein OF ore that assays 50 to the ton
in gold. The deepest workings are about
US feet. where the ore is found at the boz
tom; but very little prospecting has been
done. West Of the Golden Revenue and
south OF the Grammar Hes The
ELY MINE,
The property of General Thomas and F.

mel 40 feet long. at the end Of which Il SHAFT
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and assays S. per ton in gold. The
ledge can be traced toe entire length of
the miac. South of Ike Fly ard to the

Adjoining the Les Angeles mine on the

cruor Mckinley aud others. At this point
the ledge is very strong. Crop

ed idle for many wears. A sample taken
from one OF the old shafts upon the ledge
assayed SIS in gold. The ore is free AID 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 5stXton is
TIE AURORA GROUP,
Owned by Messrs Graham, Williamson snd
ROpkhll. The groap is composed OF four
mines the Katy &, Emma q, Oregon and
Mount MORGAN. The working consists Of ii
tunnel liz feet long and shaft 30 feet
deep and q tunnel IS feet long. At the
shaft there is a body Of very good ore a.
saving 81 per ton in free gold. The ledge
is seven feet wide, and in some places very
strong. The Groupings assay $40 IN goid.
Like the SaXton this property has great
merit, the ledge being very strong and we'll
defined Ii is understood in this vicinity
that this property Is under bond to New
York parties
The Rosebud nine is to the west OF the
Aurora group and is the property OF Mr..
Rookhill. There lisa shaft upon this mine
80 feet deep and a tunnel 100 feetlong which
expose ore worth So per ton in gold.
Continuing to the southwark on taemain
