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 Is 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 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 nofth or foot
wall is porphyry Through the mine in
many places punches of lime ara 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
all been with the ordinary stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving The gold.
The last work showed a 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 has
been used upon the tailings at the Chain.
man mill, The tailings carrying some free
gold, and gold alleged with the carbonate
of lead makes the process fall short of be-
ing a Success.
The Chairman ledge passes through the
entire length of the ChaiD man mine to the
west cid of the location and continue on
it's westward course through the Turkey
and mines. These rlines are but little
prospedted, and nothing is known of their
value except that they are on the ex-
tensi0nof the ChaiDm man aud Aultman lode.
