LII ~ 81 tees in ~ pefl ore.

S. gold ore. Ia distance . 20 feet farthcr
east in the east drift, the winze to the upper
leTel is reached, which is referred to above.
At the bottom of this Wine drift leads y
the north % feet, cutting through small
point of lime and opens again into large
chamber from which large quantity ~
ore has been stopped This stope extends
200 to the northwest and 20 feet southeast
and to the level above The ore taken
from this portion of the mine was high
grade. Samples can be had running inLo
the thousands, but the average would prob
ably reach $50 to $to per ton. There have
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 | cen
reached it is also questionable whether
the northwest has been reached 1t is the
common oniniou that the south or hanging
wall is shae, and that the north or loot
wall is po1phyly. Through the mine IN
many places punches OF lime arr. loEnd;
but thus lar they have been but Aiiaehee,
ore being found on each SIDE OF the lime.
The ore "a the Chairman gr0np is similar
to that in the Anltlnau 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 The gold.
The last work showed saving OF about 60
d
but 40 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 Il heavy black iron,
either of which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process hss
been used upon the tailings at the Chain
man mill, The tailinPs carrying some free
gold, and gold alleged with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process tall snort OF De-
ing a success.
The Chairman ledge pnsses through the
I'entire length Of The Chairman Alile 10 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 t3er
value except that they are on tae on
tension of the Chairman sud Aultman iode.
The same can be said OF the southern Gross
mine. There is some more work done upon
the Southern Cross Samples taken from
one of the shafts assayed $27 PEI ton. Be-
tween the Southern Cross and the Chain
man mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REyENUE.
The property Of Messrs. simpon, Compton,
Harris and others, There is u shaft an
other workings upon the mine that expo,
a large vein Of ore that assays 81 to the to-
in gold. The deepest workings are abo'
10 feet. whore the ore liz found at the bot
tom; but very little prospecting has been
done. West Of me Golden Revenue ana
South of thl Chainmau lies the
ELY MINE,
The property Of General Thomas and f.
NJ. Clark. The Workipgs consist Of . tnn-
mel 40 feet long, at the end Of which 4 e,i4G t
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide aud assays s. per ton in gold. The
ledge can be traced the entire lc19th &C
the mine. South OF the Ely and to the
western end lies
