from this portion Of the mine was hlgn

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 or 1901
wall il porphyIy. 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 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 MIL,
using copper plates for saving me gold
The last work showed saving of about 90
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
but 30 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 nj $

The Chairman ledge passes through the
entire length of the Cnaiuman mine 10 the
west end OF the location and continue on
its westward course through the Turkey
and mines. These mines are but little
prospected, aud 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 shaft assayed $27 per ton. Be
tween the Sou hern Cross and the Chain
man mines lie, the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
The property of Messrs Simpon, Campton

other workings upon the mine that expose

115 feet where the ore is found at the bot

done considerable work and exposed some
ore. \ general sample taken assayed SO per

South of the Rob Roy nine lies
CHIEF OF THE HILL,
Owned by Samuel PARK 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 Saxtou, the property of Gov
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 U. S. patent and 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 Tree and OF
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. Tine group is composed of four
mines, the Katy G., Emma q, Oregon and
Mount Morpan. The working consists of u
tunnel III feet long and shaft % feet
deep and u tunnel 70 feet long. At the
shaft there is body Of We y good ore as
saying 81 per ton in fire. 6 Id. The ledge
is seven feet wide, and ONE places very
strong. The groupings say $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 bond to New
OK parties
The Rosebud mine Is to the west of the
Aurora group and is the property OF Mt.
Rockhill. There lisa shaft upon this mine
40 feet deep and n 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

! value, except that they all show the same
