the thousands, but the average would prob

been several thousand tons OF TINS ore
worked at the Chainman mill. Taele stlii

common opinion thai the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the north or loot
wall is porphyfy. THROUGH the mine IN
many places punches OF lime ara lopnui
but thus far they have been but punches,
ore being foUnd on each side Of the lime.
The ore in the Chairman group is similar
to that in the Aultman and Joanna miues,
possibly not so free as that in the last
named mine. The reduction OF this ore mas

using copper plates for saving The gold.
The last work showed Il saving OF about oO

portion OF the gold that is not free is found
in a white carbonate of lead, and another
portion is found in Il heavy black IRON,
either OF which can be readily saved by

been used upon the tailings at the Chain

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

pings are found high above The surface in
many places over the mines. The prospect
is covered by U. S, patent and has remain

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-
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
Rockhll. The group is composed OF four
mines, the Katy G., Emma e, oregon and
tunnel liz feet long and shaft 50 feet
deep and tunnel rs feet long. AT the
shaft there is body Of very good ore AS
saying 81 per ton in free cold. The ledge
is seven feet wide, and n some places very
strong. The cToppiDgs assay $40 in gold.
Like the SGXton 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
,rhe Rosebud mine is to the west of the
Aurora group and is the property OF Mr..
Rockhill. There is a shaft upon this mine
~ feet deep and tunnel 100 feetlong which
expose ore worth 50 per ton in gold.
Continuing to the southwark on the main
mineral belt, but IL great many ioeaIlons
are passed over, all OF which nave
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
ledge matter and are cf the character that
is found in the previously described mines
The ledge is very prominent and can be
readily traced the entire dlstauce to the
