IS gold ore A la distance of 20 feet further
east in the east drift, the Wine to the upper
level is reached, which is referred to above.
At the bottom of this Wine drift leads to
the north % feet cutting through small
point OF lime and opens again into large
chamber from which Il 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 $50 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 OF foot
wall is porphyry. Through the mine in
many places punches of lime ara found;
but thus far they have been but punches,
ore being found on each side OF the lime
The ore in the Chairman group is similar
to that in the Anltman 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
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 a heavy black iron,
either of which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process mas
been used upon the tailings at the Chain
man mill, The tailngs carrying some free
nd a11Oyn6 pArbOnitH
of lead, makes the process fall short OF be-
ing 81 success.
The Chairman ledge passes 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 known of their
value except that they are on the ex-
tension of the chairman and 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 $27 per ton. Be
tween the Southern Cross and the Chaln-
man mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
The property of Messrs. Simpon, Campton,
Harris and others, There is shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
q large vein OF ore that assays 30 to the ton
in gold. The deepest workings are about
175 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 MINE,
The property of General Thomas and F.
NJ. Clark. The workings consist of q tun-
mel 20 feet long, at the end of which shaft
is sunk in the ledge which is about six feet
wide and 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
THE MOHAWK,
The property of Messrs Thomas, Clark,
Weber d Heusscr. There is shaft 30 feet
deep and an oren cut upon the mine in
which ore has been developed that ASSAYS
$40 per ton III gold. West Of the Chainlnau
group lies the
ROE ROY MINE,
The property of Captain Carpenter, Hip
3nd others The claim has been develop
ed by series Of tunnels in which some
very gcod ere has been found. GWtns' TO
ghe presence Of water near the surface the
ere Is nor f,e e, but is III o aulDhurase form
The owners have expended at least five
thousand dollars on the property. Adioin
ing the Rob Roy on the west is
THE Los ANGELES.
The property OF VIM. Watson, Leach Bros
and others. There is shaft and tunnel
upon the mine on which the owners have
done considerable work and exposed some
ore. A general sample taken assayed So per
ton in gold. a lot Of second class ore work
ed at the Chairman mill yielded 81 in gold
South Of the Rob Roy mine lies
CHIEF OF THE HILL,
Owned by Samuel Parkinson and Others
The owners have done some work on the
mine and developed some ore.
Adjoining the Los Angeles mine on the
west is the SaXton, the property Of Gov
ernor Mckinley and others. At this point
the ledge is very strong. Crop
many places over the mines. TIE 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
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
mines, the Katy G, Emma G, Oregon and
Mount Morgan. The working consists OF
tunnel 10 feet long and shaft 50 feet
deep and tunnel rs 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. It'll 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 and is the property OF Mr.
Rockhill There is "a shaft upon this mine
40 feet deep and a tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth So 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
or less gold. They are but slightly pros
pected, and nothing can be said as to their
value, except that they all show the same
