five feet further east tho ledge is again
c~rosscut to the south a distance OF 40 ieei IN
s. gold ore. A Ia distance OF ~ feet further
east in the east drift, the winze to the upper
level is reached, which is referred to above.
At the bottom OF this Wine a drift leadsto
the north Is feet, cutting through a small
point of lime and opens again INTO d large
chamber from which a large quantity OF
ore has been stored. This stope extends
200 to the northwtst and 20 feet southeast,
and to the level above. The ore taken
from this portion OF the mine was nleh
grade. Samples can be had running INTO
the thousands, butthe average would prop
ably reach $35 to $40 per ton. There nave
been several thousand tons oil TINS ore
worked at the Chairman mlll. IneIe sun
remains several thousand tons OF same quar-
ity in the mine. There is no indication OF
the south wall of the mine having teen
reached it is also questionable Whetner
the northwest has been reached. 1t Is the
common opinion that The south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the north or loot
wall is ~porphy1y. Through the mine IN
many places punches of lime ara 1ound
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 mas
all been with the ordinary. stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving Che gold.
The last work showed a saving OF about 6O
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning

The Chairman ledge passes through the
entire length of the Chairman mine to tue
west end of the location and continue on
its westward course through the Turkey
and V mines. These mines are but little
prospected, aud nothing IL known of their
value except thai they are on 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 shaft assayed $27 per ton, Be
tween the SOU hern Cross and the Chain
man mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
Thu property of Messrs. Simpon, Campton,
Harris and others, There is Il shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
a large vein of ore that assays s. to the ton
in gold. The deepest workings are about

tom; but very little prospecting has been
done. West OF the Golden Revenue and
South of the Chuinman lies the

The property of General Thomas and +.
NJ. Clark. The workings consist of Il tun-
mel 40 feet long, al the end of which y shaft
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and ASSAYS s. per ton in gold. Tao

THE % ANGELES.
The property of Wm. Watson, Leacn Bros.

upon the mine on which the owners have
done considerable work and exposed som"

The owners have done some work on the

Adjoining the Los Angeles mine on the
west is the SuXton, the property of GOV
ernor Mckinley and 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 U. $. patent and has remain
ed idle for many years. A 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-
scribed mines. This is considered to be
one OF the best locations in the district.
West of the Saxton is

Continuing to the southwark on the main
mineral belt, but a 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

value, except that they all show the same
ledge matter aud are OF the character that
is found in the previously described mines.
The ledge is very prominent and can be
readily traced the entire distance to the
