q distance OF - teet in Sgo a ore. Thirty
! five feet further east tho ledge Is again
| crosscut to the south distance of 40 feet in
! IS gold ore. A Ia distance OF 20 feet further
! east in the east drift the winze to the upper
! level is reached, which is referred to above.
At the bottom OF this Winze DRIFT leads To
the north Is feet. cutting through small
| point Of lime and opens again into q large
chamber from which large quantity of
ore has been stoped. This stope extends
200 to the northwest and 70 ieet southeast,
and to tho leve, above. The ore taken
from this portion ct the mine was high
grade. Samples can be had running into
the thousands, but the average would prob
ably reach $50 to $40 per ton. There have
been several thousand tons OF TINS ore
worked at the Chairman mill. Ihere SILL
remains several thousand tons Of same quail
ity in the mine. There is no indication OF
the south wall of the mine having teen
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 foot
wall is .porphy1y. Through the mine IN
| many places lunches of lime ara found;
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 huffman 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 Il saving OF about 90
per cent Of the gold, while at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved. conslderable
portion OF the gold that is not free is found
in white carbonate of lead, and another
portion is found in heavy black IRON,
either OF which can be readily saved by
concentration. The cyanide process hts
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 u success.
The Chairman ledge passes through the
entire length of the Chairman mine to 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 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 $27 per ton. Be-
tween the Sou hern Cross and the Chain
man mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
The property of Messrs. Simpon Campton,
Harris and others, There is shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
II large vein of ore that assays 80 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 +.
NJ. Clark. The workings consist of IL tuu-
mel 40 feet long at the end Of which shaft
is sunk 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 AIesSrs Thomas, Clark,
Weber d Heusser. There is a shaft so feet
deep aud an open cut upon the nlfne in
which ore has been developed thai assays
$40 per ton in gold West Of the Chairman
group lies the

THE LOS ANGELES.
The property q VIM. Watson. Leacn Bros.
and others There Is Il shaft aud tunnel
upon the mine on which the oEnera have
done considerable work and exposed some
ore. A general sample taken assayed 3i1 per
ton in gold. A lot Of seeond-class ore work
ed at the Chairman mill yielded "a in gold.
South Of the Rob Roy mine lies
CHEF OF THE HILL,
owned by Samuel Parl inson and others.
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 Coy
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 L. 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-
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
Roekhill. The group is composed OF four
mines, the Katy g., Emma G, Oregon and
Mount Morgan. The working consists OF a
tunnel III feet long and a shaft 81 feet
deep and tunnel 10 feet long. At the
shaft there is a body of very good ore as
saying 81 per ton in IRE g>ld. The ledge
is seven feet wide, and n 5ome places very
strong. The cropping, -ssay $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
The Rosebud mine Is to the west of the
Aurora group and is the property OF Mr..
Rockhll. There is a shaft upon this mine
40 feet deep and tunnel 100 feet long which
expose ore worth So 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 aud 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.
