cHAINMAN CIRCUIT,
TIE properly Of Messrs. Lyons, McGin,
McOmie and Underhill is situate on Ault-
man hin, adioining the Aultman miaa on
tho Wes, and the Joanna No. 2 on the south
The group is composed OF five mines, which
are the chairman Chairman Gore Turkey Y
Southern CrOSs-all adiacenttO other The
deYelopm mt work upon the group is most
ly done upon the Chairman and Chairman
Gore mines. The entrance to the mine Is
through \ large tunnel, which taps the
ledge at a point 800 feet from the mouth OF
the tunnel, and 125 from the surface AT
the point of intersection made by the tun-
mel and ledge lateral drift has been run
to the west a distance OF 500 feet; also a
lateral drift has beep run to the east Is feet
to 81 Wine which extends down to a second
or lower level OF the mine, a distance OF
100 feet below the Tunnel or first level
Thus it viii be seen the total depth at this
pOint is 227 feet. Going back to a noint
where the lateral drift Gest leaves the
tunnel distance ofsiXty feet to west in the
drift Il crosscut has been made TO the south,
and an opening to the north at the same
point which shows the ledge at this poiut
10 be thirty feet wide. Forty feet further
to the west, in the lateral drift, there is a
stOpe to the south where some ore has been
extracted and reduced at the Chairman
mill, which averaged 81 per tom There is
an opening to the surface distance of
something more than 100 feet through the
rcoI vi the stope, which is in ore all the
way. Ca the opposite side Of the drift
tneIe is Crosscut to the north The dis
lance taken from the back of the st~pe
AID 10 The end Of the crosscut SHOWS the
leuse 20 be u feet wide. The ore stone
extends along the lateral drift 10 the west,
Il distance of fifty feet to another erOascut
to the north, and shows the ledge To DE
Heuty-four feet wide. The crosScut is not
entirely across the ledge An average gives
S. 80 gold per ton Fifty feet further west
in the iataral drift another another cross
cut is nude to the north twenty eight feet:
also to tao south 81 distance of eighty feet
The crUsscuC To the south has not extended
