uTllJ the leuRS is HBHlHc TOsS'' ~ tiO oV vi
a distance Of 20 teet in SSgo d ore. Thirty
five feet further east tho ledge IS again
croascut to the south distance Of ~ feet IN
S. gold ore. A Ia distance Of 20 feet further
east in the east drift, the winZe TO the upper
level is reached, which is referred TO above.
Atthe bottom of this Wine DRIFT leads to
the North rs feet. cutting through small
point of lime and opens again lnto large
chamber from which large quantity o.
ore has been stoped. This Slope eXtends
200 to the northwest and 20 feet southeast.
and to the leye, above. The ore taken
from this portion OF the mine was nlgn
grade. Samples can be had running into
the Thousands, but the average would prob
ably reach S35 to $40 per ion. There have
been several thousand tons OF TINS ore
worked at The Chaiuman mill. There still
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 whether
the northwest has been reached. 1t is the
comm on opinion that the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the nnrth or 1901
wall is porphy1y. Through the mine IN
many places punches OF lime ar. found;
but thus far they have been but rluches,
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 the gold;
The last work showed a saving OF about b0
per cent OF the gold, while at the beginning
hut 40 per cent was saved. A considerable
portion of the gold that is not free is found
in white carbonate of lead, and another
portion is found in Il heavy Dlack lrOu,
either of which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process has
been used upon the tailings at the Cham
man mill, The tailings carrying some Tree
gold, and gold alleged with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process fall short OF be-
ing 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 mines. These mines are nut ltlle
prospected, and nothing is known OF their
value except that they are on the c&-
tension ofthe 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 heru Cross and the Chain
man mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
The property of Messrs. Simpon, Campton,
Harris and others, There is a shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
a large vein OF ore that assays 81 to the ton
in gold. The deepest workings are about
10 feet. where the ore is found at the bot
TOM but very little prospecting has been
done. West of the Golden Revenue and
ELY MINE,
The property of General Thomas and +.
NJ, Clark. The workings consist of Il tun-
mel 40 feet long, at the end Of which shaft
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and assays s. per ton in gold. The
ledge can be traced the entire length of
the mine. South of the Ely and to the
western end lies
THE MOHAWK,
Weber Heusser. There is shaft 30 feet
deep and an open cut upon the mine in
which ore has been developed that assays
Si0 per ton in gold. West OF the Chairman
group lies the

THE Los ANGELES.
The property of VIM. Watson, Leach Bros.
and others. There is shaft and tunnel
upon the line on which the owners have
ore general sample taken sssnyed SO per
ton in gold. A lot OF seconds class ore work
ed at tie chairman mill yielded 81 in gold.
South of the Rob Roy mine lies
CHIEF or THE HILL,
Owned by Samuel Parl inson and others.
The owners have done some work on the
mine and developed some ore.
Adjoiuiup the Los Angeles mine on the
west is the Saxton, the property of Gov
ernor Mckinley and others. At this point
the ledge is very strong. Crop

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
scribed mines This is considered to be
one 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 four
mines, the Katy &, Emma q, Oregon and
Mount Morgan. The working consists OF
tunnel III feet long and shaft IS feet
deep and a tunnel % feet long. At the
shaft there is a body of very good ore as
saying 81 per ton in free gold. The ledge
is seven feet wide, and some places very
strong. The Groupings ..ssay $40 in gold.
Like the Saxton this property has great
merit, the ledge being very strong and we'll
defined. 1t is 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 and is the property of Mr.
Rockhill. There is a shaft upon this mine
80 feet deep and tunnel 100 feet long 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 done upon them and show more
or less gold. They are but slightly pros
pected and nothing can be said as to their
value, except that they all show the same

The ledge is very prominent and can be
readily traced the entire distance to the
