| 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 still
remains several thousand tons OF same qual,
| 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. IL Is the
| common opinion that the south or hanging
| wall is shale, and that the north or loot
wall is porphyIy. Through the mine In
| many places punches OF lime ars found;
| but thus far they have been but 'nnehes,
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 has
all been with the ordinary stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving lhe gold
| The last work showed saving of about GO
per cent 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 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 ht
been used upon the tailings at the Chain
| man MILL The tailinPs carrying some free
| gold, and gold alleged with the carbonate
| Of Iead makes the process fall short of be-
| ing a success.
The Chairman ledge passes through the
| entire length of the Chairman mine to the
west end of the location aud continue on
| its westward course through the Turkey
| and mines. These mines are but little
| prospected, and nothing IS known OF their
value except that they are on the ex-
| tension of the Chairman aud Aultman lode.
| The same can be said OF the southern Cross
nine There is some more work done upon
| the Southern Cross. Samples tAkeh rom
one of the shaft assayed $27 per ton Be

tom; but very little p ospecting has been
done. West OF the Golden Revenue and
| South of the Chairman lies the
ELY MINE,
| The property OF General Thomas and F..

is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
| wide and assays IS 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 d. Heusser. There is a shaft 30 feet
| deep aud IN open cut upon the mine in
| which ore has been developed that assays
| $lU per ton in gold. West OF the chairman

THE LOS ANGELES.
| The property OF Wm. Watson, Leach Bros.
and others. There is n sasft and tunnel
upon the mine on which the owners hay"

ore. A general sample taken assayed So per

| South of the Rob Roy mine 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 Saxton. the property OF Gov
ernor Mckinley and others. At this point
| pings ore 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 $lS in gold. The ore is free and OF
the sane character found in the above de-
scribed mines. This is considered to he
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 q, Emma G, Oregon and
Mount MorPan. The working consists of a
tunnel III feet long aud shaft 81 feet
deep and II tunnel IS feet long. At the
| shaft there is body of very good ore as
| saying 81 per ton in free gold. The ledge
is seven feet wide, and n some places very
| strong The groupings assay $40 in gold.
Like the Saxton this property has great
merit, the ledge being very strong and we'll
defined. 1t is understood in <his vicinity
that this property is under bond to New
| York parties
The Rosebud mine Is TO inc west OF tne
Aurora group and is the property OF Mr..
Rockhill. There Isl shaft upon this mine
40 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 great many locations
are passed over, all of which have
some work done upon them aud show more
or less gold. They are but slightly pros
pected. and nothing can be said as to their
value, except that they all snow 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
