thirty-five feet further cas- the east
drift the ledge is againc rossea to the south
a distance Of 50 teet in IS go q ore. thirty
five feet further east tho ledge is again
crosseut to the south Il distance OF 40 feet in
IS gold ore. a Ia 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 WinZc a drift leads To
the north 2S feet cutting through small
point OF lime and opens again into large
chamber from which a large quantity OF
ore has been stopped. This stope extends
200 to the northwest and 20 feet southeast,
and to tho Level above. The ore taken
from this portion CT the mine was hlgh
grade. Samples can be had running into
the thousands, butthe average would PROB
ably reach $50 to $lo per ton. Ihc1e nave
been several thousand tons OF TINS ore
worked at the chairman mill. There still
remaius 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 opinion that the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the north or foot
wall is porphyry. Through the mine in
many places punches OF lime are 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 Aultman 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 90
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 Il heavy black iron,
either of which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process has
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.
The Chainmau ledge passes through the
entire length Of the Chairman mine to the
west end of the location and continue on
its westward course through the Turkey
and Y mines. These mines are but little
prOspected, and nothing is known of their
value except that they are Oh 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 $27 per ton. Be-
tween the Southern Gross and the Chain
man miues lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
The property of Messrs. Simpon, Campton,
Harris and others, There is 8 shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
large vein Of ore that assays S. to the ton
115 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 aud T.
NJ. Clark. The workings consist of a tun-
mel 40 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 niue. South Of the Ely and TO the
western end lies
TIE MOHAWK,
The property of Mersrs Thomas. Clark,
Weber d Hcusser. There is SHAFT - feet
deep aud an open cut upon the mise in
which ore has been developed taat assays
SIG per ton III gold. West Cf the Ghainman
group lies the

The owners haYe expended ct least five
thousand dollars or the property. Adioin-
ing the Rob R0y on the west Il
THE Los ANGELES.
The property Of Wm. watson, Leacn Bros
and others. There il shaft and tunnel
upon the mine on #hjch the 0%ners have
done considerable work and exposed some
ore. general sample taken assayed SO per
ton in gold. \ lot Of secoud-class ore work
ed at the Chairman mill yielded 81 in gold.
South of the Rob Roy mine lies
CHIEF OF TIE HILL,
owned by Samuel Parl inson 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 Coy
ernor Mckinley aud 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 {. $. patent aud has remain
ed idle for many. years. sample taken
from one of the old shafts upon the ledge
assayed SIS in gold. The ore is free and OF
the same character found IN The above de-
scrbed mines. This is considered to be
one Of the best locations in the district.
West OF the SNXton is
THE AURORA GROUP,
Owned by Messrs Graham, Williamson and
Rockhill The group is composed of four
mines, The Katy G, Emma &, Oregon and
Mount Moran. The working consists OF
tunnel Ii2 feet long and d shaft So feet
deep and Il tunnel 10 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 ls under bond to New |
York parties
The Rosebud mine IS to the west of the
Aurora group and is The property Of Mr.. !
