five feet further east tho ledge is again
crosscut to the south distance Of 40 feet in
So gold ore. A la distance Of 20 feet furthe r
east in the east drift, the Wine to the upper
level is reached, which is referred 10 above.
At the bottom of this Wine dTift leads to
tn snorth % feet, cutting lhro 'gh small
point of lime and opens again into large
chamber from which large quantity OF
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 into
the thousands, but the average would prob
ably reach $35 to $4o 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 loot
wall is porphyIy. Through the mine IN
many places punches Of lime ara lound; ;
but thus far they have been but 1'tncnes,
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 rs that in the last
named mine. The reduction of this ore mas
all been with the ordinary stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving he gold.
The last work showed saving OF aDout 6e
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved. A considerable
portion of the gold that is not free is found
in white carbonate of lead, and another
portion is found in a heavy black lrOnA
either OF which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process ht $
been used upon the tailings at the Chain
man mill, The tailings carrying some free
gold, and gold alloyed with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process fall short OF be-
ing n success.

mineral belt, but a great many locations
are passed over, all of which have
some work done upon them and show more

value, except that they all show the same
ledge matter and are of the character that
is found IN the previously described mines e.
