The ore i'll the Chain, Ian group IS similar
to that in the Aultman and Joanna mines,

portion Of the gold that is not free is fouhd
in white carbonate of lead, aud another
portion is found in heavy black IRON,
either of which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process ms

gold, and gold alleged with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process fall short OF be-

west end of the location and continue on
its westward course through the turkey
and V mines These mines are but niue

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 rom ON
one of the shafts asSayed $27 per ton. Be

THE GOLDEN. REVENUE.
The property of Messrs. Simpon, Campton,
Harris and others, There is shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
u large vein Of ore that assays s. to the ton
in gold. The deepest workings are about
175 feet. where thc.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 MINE,
The property OF General Thomas and T.
Nj. Clark. Tho workings consist OF u tun-
mel 30 feet long. at the end OF which d shaft
is snnll in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and assays s. 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,
The property OF MessrS, Thomas, Clark

The owners have done some work on the

| 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

many places over the mines. The prospect
is covered by L. S. patent and has remain
| ed idle for many years. sample taken
| from one of the old shafts upon the ledge
| assayed SIS in gold, The ore is lree 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 Mcssrs. Graham, Williamson and
| Rockhill. Tae group is composed of four
mines, the Katy a., Emma q, Oregon and
| Mount Morgan. The working consists Of
tunnel III feet long and a shaft IS feet
| deep and tunnel IS feet long. At the
| shaft there is n 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 groupings assay $40 in gold.
Like the saxton 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
York parties
The Rosebud mine IS to the west of the
Aurora group and is the property oil MI.
Rockhill. There lisa shaft upon this mine
10 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 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 as to their
value, except that they all show the same
ledge matter and are of the character that
is found in the previously described mines.
The ledge is very prominent and can be
readily traced the entire distance to the
