a distance of % teet in IS go a ore. Thirty
I'VE feet further east tho ledge rs again
crosscut to the south a distence OF 40 feet in
s. gold ore. A Ia distance Of 20 feet further
east in the east drift, the Wine to upper
level is reached, which is referred 10 above.
At the bottom of this winze n dTltt leadsto
the North % feet, cutting through a small
point of lime and opens again INTO a large
chamber from which u large quantity OF
ore has been stopped. This stope extends
200 to the northwest and 20 feet southeast,
and to the Level above. The ore taken
from this portion of the mine was hlgh
grade. Samples can be had running INTO
the thousands, but the average would prob
ably reach $35 to $40 per ton. There have
been several thousand tons OF TINS ore
worked at the Chairman mill. There still
remains several thousandtons OF same qual.
iy in the mine. There is no indication Of
the south wall Of the mine having leen
reached it is also questionable Whether
the northwest has been reached 1t is the
ommon opinion that the south or hanging
wall is shale, and that the north or foot
wall is .porphyry. Through the mine IN
many places punches Of lime are found;
but thus far they have been but lunches,
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 the gold.
The last work showed q saving OF about 6O
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 ound in a heavy black IRON,
either of which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process ms
been used upon the tailings at the Chain
man mill, The tailings carrying some free
gold, and gold alloyed will the carbonate
Of lead, makes the process fall short OF be-
ing a. success.
Tho Cboinpno,, 1adun n IA ssas throIirh tho
entire length of the Chairman mine to the
west end of the location II continue on
its westward course through the Turkey
and V mines. These mines are but little
prOSpected, and Cothing is known 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 upo
the Southern Cross. Samples taken from
one of the shaft assayed $27 per ton. Be
tween the SOU hern Cross and the Chain
maj 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
II large vein of ore that assays s. to the ton
in gold. Tie deepest workings are about
l15 feet. where the ore is found at the bot
tom; but very little prospecting has been
done. West of the Golden Revenue and
South Of the Chairman lies the
ELY mime,
The property of General Thomas and f.
NJ. Clark. The workings consist OF ii tun-
mel 40 f'ct loig, at the end Of which u shat
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and assays 81 per ton in gold. The
ledge can be traced the entire 1enpth of
the mine. South OF the Ely and to the
western end lies
THE MOHAWK,
The property of Messrs. Thomas, Clark,
Weber Il Hcusser. There is a SHAFT 81 feet
deep aud an open cut upon the mint in
which ore has been developed that tssays
$40 per ton in gold. West ct the Chaiulnan
group lies the
ROE RoY MINE,
TIC property o. Captain Carpenter, Hip
ard others. The claim has been develop
eG Nv : series of tunnels in which some
1art good IRE has been found. Owing to
INC tre'2~Ca of water near the surface the
ere - NO ~ but is in q s%nlphurate form
T..e owners have expended ut least five
thousand dollars on the property. Adioin-
ing the Rob Roy on the west is
THE Los ANGELES.
The property of VIM. Watson, Lcacn Bros.
aud Others. There is n shaft II tunnel
upon the mine on which the owners have
done considerable work and exposed so;1c
ore. A general sample taken assHyed $40 per
ton in gold. a lot of second. class ore work
ed at the Chairman mill yielded 81 III gold.
South of the Rob Roy mine lies
CHIEF OF THE HILL,
owned by Samuel Pnrl inson and Others.
The owners have done some work on the
mine and developed ONE ore.
Adjoining the Los Angeles mine on the
west is the Saxton, the property of Gov
ernor Mckinley. aud others. At this point
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
Eockhill. The group is composed of four
mines, the Katy e., Emma 6, Oregon and
Mount Morgan. The working consists of Il
tunnel IL feet long and a shaft 81 feet
deep and a tunnel 10 feet long. At the
shaft there is a body of ve'y good ore as
saying 81 per ton in fire. G I'D. The ledge
is seven feet wide, ana n me places very
strong. The groupings say $40 in gold.
Like the SaXton this property has great
merit, the ledge being very strong and well
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 lisa shaft upon this mine
lQfeet deep and Il 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 :nore
or less gold. They are but slightly pros
rcetcd, and nothing can be said as to their
value, except that they all show the same
lcdge matter n are OF the character that
is found in the previously described mines.
The ledge is very prominent and can be
