900 to the northwest and 20 teet southeaSl,
and to the level above. The ore taken
from this portion OF the mine was high
grade. Samples can be had running mo
the thousands, but the average would PROB
ably reach $50 to $40 per ton. Ihe1e nave

the south wall of the mine having teen
reached Ii 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 n"rth or 1901
wall is noTphyry. Through the mine IN
many places punches of lime are FOUND;
but thus far they have been but h'inches,
ore being found on each side OF the lime.
The ore in the Chairman group is similar
to that in the Aultman and Joana 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 me gold;
The last work showed a saving OF about 60
per cent of the gold while AT the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved considerabie
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 hts
been used upon the tailings at the Chain
man mill, The tailings carrying some free
gold, and gold alleged with the carbonate
OF lead, 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 and continue on
its westward course through the Turkey
and mines. These mines are but little
prospected, and nothing Is known OF then
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 s27 per ton. BE-
tween the sou hern Cross and the Chain
man mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.

Adjoining the Los Angeles mine on the

the ledge is very strong. Crop

West OF tn SAXtou is
THE AURORA GROUP,
owned bv Messrs. Graham, Williamson and
Rockhill. The group is composed OF four
mines, the Katy G, Emma &, oregon and
Mount MORAN. The working consists OF
tunnel Il2 feet long and shaft 30 feet
deep and 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 in some places very
strong. The croppings assay $40 in gold
Like the SAXON this property has great
merit, the ledge being very strong and well
defined. It's 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.
Rockhil1. There is a shaft upon this mine
40 feet deep and a tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth So 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 aore
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
ledge natter and are OF the character that
is found in the previously described mines.
