AT the bottom of this Wine a DRIFT leausto

chamber from which a large qusntl1y OF
ore has been stoped. This Slope EXTENDS
200 to the northwest and 20 feet southeast,
and to the level above. The ore taken
from this portion of the mine was nlgn
grade. Samples can be had running lnto
the thousands, but the average would prop
ably reach S35 to $40 per ton. There nave
been several thousand tons OF TINS ore
worked at the Chairman mill. Ihere sui

the south wall of the mine having teen
reached it is also questionable Wnetner
the northwest has been reached. IL Is tne
common opinion that the south OF nanglng
wall is shale, and that the north or 1901
wall is porphyry. Through the mine IN
many places punches of lime aro found;
but thus far they have been but Hnnches,
ore being found on each side OF the lline.
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 mas
all been with the ordinary stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving the golu:
The last work showed a saving OF apout oo
per rent 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 n white carbonate Of lead, and another
portion is found in a heavy black iron,
either OF which can be readily saved by

gold, and gold alleged with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process fall snort OF De-

The Chairman ledge passes through the
entire length Of the Chairman mine to the
west end of the location and c%ontinne on
its westward course through the turkey
aud V mines, These mines are but nttie
proSpected, aud nothing ia known OF their
value except that they are on the ex-
tension of the Chairman n 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 shaft assayed s27 per ton. Be-
tween the Sou hern Cross and the Chain
man mines lies the
H GOLDEN REVENUE.
The properly of Messrs. Simpon, Campton,
Harris and others, There is a shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
Il large vein OF ore that assays 50 to the ton

western end lies
THE MOHAWK,
The property of Messrs. Thomas, Clark,

South OF the Rob Roy mine lies

the ledge is very strong. Crop
pings are found high above the surface in
many places over the mines. The prospect
is covered by U. S. patent and has remain
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
scribed mines. This is considered to be
Que 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 foul
mines, the Katy e.. Emma q, Oregon and
Mount Morgan. The working consists OF a
tunnel I12 feet long and Il shaft 81 feet
deep and a tunnel IS feet long. AT tho
shaft there is u body of very good ore as
saying 81 per ton in free G I'D. The ledge
is seven feet wide, and n ONE places very
strong. The groupings ssay $40 in gold.
Like the SaXton this property has great
merit, the ledge being very strong and well
defined. 1t is understood in this vicinity
that this property is under bono to New
York parties
The Rosebud mine is to the west of the
Aurora group n is the property of Mr.,
Rockhill. There lisa shaft upon this mine
40 feet deep and n tunnel 100 feetlong which
expose ore worth S. per ton in gold.
Continuing to the southwark on the main
mineral belt, but a great many locations
are passed over, all OF which have
some work lone upon them and show more
or less gold. They are but slightly pros
peeted, and nothing can be said as to theil
