600 to the northwest and 20 feet southeast,
and 10 the levei 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 $50 to $40 per ton. There nave
been several thousand tons OF TINS ore
worked at the Chairman mill. There still
remains several thousand tons OF same quar-
ity in the mine. There is no Indication OF
the south wall of the mine having teen
reached il is also questionable whether
the northwest has been reached. IL Is the
common opinion that the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the north or ioot
wall is porphyly. Through the mine IN
many places punches of lime ar found;
but thus far they nave been but punches,
ore being found on each side OF the nme
The ore in the Chainman group Is similar
to that in the Aultman and Joana mines,
possibly not so free as that in the last
named mine The reduction of this ole mas
all been with the ordinary stamp null,
using copper plates for saving he gold.
The last work showed saving OF about "
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
but 10 per cent was saved. A conslderaole
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 ms
been used upon the tailings at the ChNiu-
man mill, The tailings carrying some nee
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 Chairman mine to the
west eud 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 aud 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 81 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 a shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
a large vein of ore that assays s. to the ton
in gold. The deepest workings are about
Us feet. where the ore is found az 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 a tun-
mel 40 feet long. at the end OF which shaft
il SINK in the ledge which is about six feet
wide aud assays S per ton in gold. The
ledge can be traced the entire length Of
the mine. South of the Ely and to the
western end lies

South Of the Rob Roy nine les
CHIEF OF THE HILL,
Owned by Samuel Parl inson and others
The owners have done solre work on the
mine and developed some ore.
Adjoining the Los Angeles mine on the
west is the Saxton, tae property Of Gov
crnor Mckinley and others. At this point
the ledge is very strong. Crop-
pings are found high above the surface in
mauy places over the mines. The prospect
is covered by U. s. patent and has remain
ed idle for many years. A sample taken
from one of the old shafts upon the ledge
assayed SIS in gold. The ore is Tree and of
the same character foun1 in the above de-
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
Rockhill. The group II composed of four
mines, the Katy q, Emma q, Oregon and
Mount Morgan. The working consists OF a
tunnel Il2 feet long and q shaft 81 feet
deep and a tunnel IS feet long. AT the
shaft there is 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. Ii 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 aud is the property of Mr.
Rockhill. There Isl shaft upon this mine
&c feet deep and tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth s. per ton in gold.
Continuing to the southwark on the main
mineral belt, but 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 aud are of the character that
