east in the east drift, the Wine 10 the upper
level is reached, which is referred to above
AT the bottom of this WinZe drift leads to
the north IS feet, cutting through small
I point OF lime and opens again into large
] chamber from which large quantity OF
ore has been stopped. This stope extends
200 to the north west 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 into
the thousands, but the average would prob
ably reach $35 to $40 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 teen
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 porphyly. Through the mine in
many places punches CT lime or" found;
but thus far they have been but lunches,
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 last
named mine. The reduction of this ore has
Ell been with the ordinary stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving thee gold;
The last work showed a saving of about 90
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 in heavy black iron,
either of which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process ht
been used upon the tailings at the Cham
man MILL The tailings carrying some free
gold, and gold alloyed with the carbonate
OF lead, makes the process fall short OF be-
ing a success.
The Chairman ledge s3asses 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 little
prospected, and nothing is knowri 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 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 a shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
large vein of ore that assays s. to the ton
in gold The deepest workings are about
10 feet where the ore is found at the bot
tom; but very little prospecting has been
done. West of the Golden Revenue and
South of the Chairman lies the
ELY NINE,
The property of General Thomas and F.
NJ. Clark. The workings consist of q tup
nal 40 feet long, at the end of which a shalt

ledge can he traced the entire lenPUh OF
the mine. South OF the Ely and to the
western end lies

The property Of Messrs Thomas, Clark

The owners have done some work on the
mine and developed some ore
Adjoining tue Los Angeles mine on the
west is the Saxton, the property of COY
ernor Mckinley and others. At this point
the ledge is very strong. Crop
pings are found high above the surface in
many places over the mines. The prospect
is covered by U. s. patent and has remain

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
THE AURORA GROUP,
Owned by Messrs. Graham, Williamson and
Rockhill. The group is composed OF four
Mount Morgan. The working consists OF 81
tunnel Il2 feet long and shaft So feet
deep and a 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

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

expose ore worth So per ton in gold.
