five feet further east tho ledge is again
crosscut to the south distance of 90 feet in
SIS gold ore A la distance of 20 feet further
east in the east drift, the WINE to the upper
level is reached, which is referred to above.
At the bottom of this winZe drift 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 Slope extends
300 to the northwest and 20 feet southeast,
and to the Level above. The ore taken
from this portion Of the mine was hlgh
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 Stlll
remains several thousand tons OF same quail
ity in the mine. There is no indication OF
the south wall of the mine having teeu
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 punches of lime arg Iornd;
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 iast
named mine. The reduction of THIS ore mas
all been with the ordinary stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving The gold.
The last work showed saving of about 60
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved. considerable
portion Of the gold that is not free is found
in white carbonate of lead, and another
portion is found i'll a 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 tailings carrying some free
gold, and gold alleged with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process fall short 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 nttie
prospected, and nothing is known of their
ralne except that they are on the ex-
tension of the Chairman and Aultman 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 S27 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
a large vein of ore that assays So to the ton
in gold. The deepest workings are about
It's feet. where the ore is found at the bot
tom; but very little prospecting has been
done. West of the Golden Revenue and
ELY MINE,
The property of General Thomas and F.
NJ. Clark. The workings consist of a tun-
mel 40 feet long, at the end of which a Shaft
il sunk in the ledge which is about six feet
wide and assays IS per ton in gold. The
ledge can be traced the entire lenPth OF
the mine. South of the Ely and to the
western end lies

which ore has been developed that assays

Adjoining the Los Angeles mine on the
west is the Sexton. the property Of Coy
ernor Mckinley aud others. At this ponr
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; sample taken
from one of the old shafts upon the ledge
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 in the district.
West of the Saxton is
TIE AURORA GROUP,
Owned by Messrs. Graham, Williamson and
Rockhill. The group is composed of four
Mount Morpan. The working consists OF
tunnel liz feet long and shaft So feet
deep and tunnel rs feet long. AT the
shaft there is body of very good ore as
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 we'll
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..
Rockhill. There lisa shaft upon this mine

pose ore worth S. 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
OF less gold. They are but slightly pros
pected, and nothing can be said as to their
value, except that they all show the same
ledge matter and are of the character that
