from this portion OF the mine was nigh
grade. Samples can be had running INTO
the thousands, but the average would prob

been several thousand tons OF thls ore
worked at the Chairman mill. mere SUN
remains several thousand tons or same quar-
ity in the mine. There is no indication OF
! the south wall OF the mine having cen
reached it is also questionable whetner
| the northwest has been reached. II 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 ar" locnu,
but thus far they have been but n1nehes,
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 iast
named mine. The reduction OF this ore ms
all been with the ordinary stamp mlli,
using copper plates for saving ehe gold.

per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
but 10 per cent was saved A considerable
portion OF the gold that is not Tree is found
in a white carbonate OF cad, ana announcer
portion is found in a heavy black iron,
either of which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process has
been used upon the tailings at the Chaln-
man mill, The tailings carrying some 1fee
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 ntine 10 the
west end OF the location and continue on
its westward course through the Turkey
and V 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 Aultnlan lode.
The SAINT 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 S7 per ton. Be
tween the Sou hefn Cross and the Chaln-
man mines lies the

deeo and an open cut upon the mine in
which ore has been developed that assays

The owners have done some work on the
niue and developed ome ore.
Adjoining the Los Angeles mine on the
west is the SaXton. the property of Gov
ernor 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 q. s. patent aud 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 oundi in the above de-
scribed mines. This is considered to be
one c. the best locations in the district.
West OF the SaXton is
THE AURORA GROUP,
Owned by Mcssrs. Graham, Williamson II
Rockhill, The group is composed of four
miucs, the Katy G, Emma g., oregon aud
tunnel III feet long and a shaft % feet
deep and a tunne IS foot long. At the
shalt there is Il body of ye'y good ore as
sa aging 81 per ton in fire. Did. The ledge
strong. The groupings Essay $40 in gold.
Liz the SaXton this property has great
merit, the ledge being very stronP 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
0feet deep and a tunnel 100 feetlong which
expose ore worth 50 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 Ion upon them and show more
or less gold. They are but slightly pros
pected, aud nothing can be said as to their
value, except that they all show the same
ledge matter aud are OF the character that
is found in the previously described mines.
The Ledge is very prominent and can be
