+ thirty-fve feet further cas- the east
drift the ledge is againe rossf 10 the south
a distance OF So teet in $500 q ore. Tnlrty-
| five feet further east tho ledge is again

IS gold ore. Ia distance of 20 feet further
! east in the east drift the Wine to the upper
! level is reached, which is referred 10 ABOVE.
At the bottom of this winze dritt leads 70
! the north IS feet, cutting through small
point of lime and opens again into large
chamber from which large quantity OF
ore has been stored. This Slope extends
200 to the northw, 81 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 S35 TO sto per ton. Ihefe nave
been several thousand tons Of TINS ore
worked at the Chairman mill. There sui
remains several thousand tons OF same. quail.
ity in the mine There is no indication oil
the south wall of the mine having Leen
reached it 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 north or 1901
wall is porphyIy. 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 Joana mines,
possibly not 80 free as that IN the last
named mine. The reduction OF this ore has
using copper plates for saving the gold.
The last work showed a saving OF about GO
per cent OF the gold, while at the beginning
but 20 per cent was saved. A considerable
portion Of the gold that is not free is found
in q white carbonate of lead, and another
portion is found in Il heavy black IRON,
either of which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process has
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 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 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 $21 per ton, Be-
tween the Sou hern Gross and the Chain
man mines lie the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
The property of Messrs. Simpon, Campton,
Harris aud others, There is shaft and
ether workings upon the mine that expose
q large vein Of ore that assays s. to the ton
in gold. The deepest workings are about
175 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 NINE,
The property of General Thomas and r
N. Clark. the workings consist Of u tun-
mel 40 feet long, at the end of which a shaft
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide aud assays 81 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,
Tho property Of Messrs Thomas, Clark.
Weber L tleusser There is shaIt 30 lees
deep and an open cut upon the mint in
which ere has been developed that assays
SO per ton in gold West OF the Chaianaa
group lies the
ROB ROY MINE,
Tho property OF Captain Carpenter, Hip
and others The claim hGs been develop
ed w : series OF tunnels in which some
Ver7 eood ere has been found. Owing to
.nc preee-Ct Of W9ter AGAR the surface the
ore : M ire, Int is in q sulphugnte form
The owners have expended at least five
thousand dollNrs on the property. Adioiu-
lug the Rob Roy en- the west is
THE Los ANGELES.
The property of VIM. Watson, Leach Bros.
and Others. There is shaft and tunnel
upon the mine on which the owners have
done considerable work and exposed some
q
ton in gold. a lot OF second.clsss ore work
ed at the Chainmgn min yielded 81 in gold.
south OF the Rob Roy mine lies
CHIEF OF THE Hull,
Owned by Samuel PARK iuson and others.
The owners have done some work on the
mine aud developed s0rle ore.
Adjoining the Los Angeles mine on the
west is the SaXtOn, the property OF Gov
eTnor Mckinley and others At this point
the ledge is. very strong. Crop
pings are found high above the surface in
many places over the mines. The prospect
is covered by T. 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
the same character found in the above de-
seribed 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 G, Emma G, Oregon and
Mount Morgan. The working consists of a
tunnel lj2 feet long and shaft 3 teet
shaft there is body of very good ore as
saying 81 per ton in FRI 6 Id. The ledge
is seven feet wide, and n spme places very
strong. The groupings assay $40 in gold.
Like the Saxton this property has greet
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 isa 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 Il 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 rs to their
ntulil OH.
