crOSsclt to the south q distance Oh ~ iett III
81 gold ore. A ia distance Of 20 feet furtner
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 - feet. cutting through a small
point OF lime and opens again into a large
chamber from which o large quantity OF
ore has been stored. This stope extends
200 to the northwest and 20 feet southeast,
and to the Level above. The ore taken
from this portion ct the mine was hlgh
grade. Samples can be had running into
the thousands, but the aVerage would prob
ably reach $50 TO $40 per ton. There have
been several thousand tons OF this ore
worked at the Chairman mill. There sun
remains several thousand tons OF SAINT 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. II Is the
common opinion that the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the north or loot
wall is porphyry. Through the mine IN
many places punches of lime ore found;
but thus far they have been but h1nches,
ore being found on each side OF the lime.
The ore in the Chairman group is similar
to tina 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 mil,
using copper plates for saving the gold,
The last work showed Il saving OF about 90
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
but 10 per cent was saved. A considerable
portion Of the gold that is not free Is found
in a white carbonate Of lead, and another
portion is found in u heavy black IRON,
either of which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process has
been used upon the tailings at the Cham
nan mill, The tailings carrying some free
gold, and gold alleged with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process fall short OF be-
ing Il success.
The Chairman 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 V mines. These mines are but little
prospected, and nothing is 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 lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
The properly Of Messrs. Simpon, Compton,
Harris and others, There is u 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
17j feet. where the ore is found ut the bot
tom; but very little prospecting has been
done. West of the Golden Revenue and
South OF the Chairman lies the
ELY MINE,
The property of General Thomas aud +.
NJ. Clark. The workings consist OF ii tun-
mel 40 feet long, at the end of which n shaft
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and assays 50 per ton in gold. The
ledge can be traced the entire length of
the mine. South OF the Ely aud to the
western end lies
THE MOHAWK,
The uropertv OF NcssrS. Thomas, Clprk,
Weber q Heusser. There is u shaft 80 feet
deep and an open cut upon the mine i'll
which ore has been developed that ASSAYS
SO per ton in gold. West Of the Chairman
group lies the
ROE ROY I'M,
The property a; Captain Carpenter, Hilp
and others, The claim has been Develop
I'd ny . se-ieS OF tunuels in which some
JaFf cpoi ere has been found. Owing to
ne presence of water near the surface the
era j. no. fee, but is in a sulphurate form
The owners have expended at least five
thousand dollars on the property. Adioin-
ing the Rob Roy on the west Ia
THE Los GEL
The property of Y'm. Watson, Leach Bros.
aud others. There Is q shaft and tunnel
upcn the mine on which the owners have
done considerable work and exposed some
ore. A general sample taken assayed SO per
ton in gold. a lot of second.clase ore work
ed at the Chairman min yielded 81 in gold.
South of the Rob Roy MINI lies
CHIEF or THE HILL,
Owned by Samuel Parkinson 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 Gov
eruor 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. S. 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-
scrihed mines. This is considered to be
one Of the best locations in the district.
West of the SaXton is
THE AURORA GpoUp,
Owned by Messrs. Graham, Williamson and
RocklIill. The group is composed of four
mines, the Katy G, Emma c., Oregon and
Mount MORGAN. The working consists OF a
tunnel I12 feet long and II shaft 80 feet
deep and u tunnel rs feet long. At the
saying 81 per ton in fire. 6 I'D. The ledge
is seven feet wide, and u ONE places very
strong. The groupings y5Say $40 in gold,
Like the SaXton this property has great
merit, the ledge being very strong and well
defined. Tits understood in this vicinity
that this property is under bond to New
York parties
The Rosebud mine is to the west of the
Aurora group ana is tne property OF uf,
Rockhili. There lisa shaft upon this mine
10 feet deep and II tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth So per ton in gold.
Continuing to the southwark IN the main
mineral belt, but IL 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
pected, and nothing can be said rs 10 their
value, except that they all show the same
ledge matter and are OF the character that
is found in the previously described mines.
The ledge is very prominent and can be
