200 to the northwt s. and 20 feet southeast,
and to the levei above. the ore taken
from this portion CT the mine was hlgn
grade. Samples can be had running luto
the thousands, but the average would PROB
ably reach S35 to $40 per ton. There nave
been several thousand tons OF TINS ore
worked at the chairman mill. There still
remains several thousand tons OF same ual-
ity in the mine. There is no INDICATION oil
the south wall OF the mine having Teen
reached it is also questionable whether
the northwest has been reached. Ii Is the
common opinion that the south OF hanging
wall is shale, and that the north or loot
wall is porphy1y. Through the nine IN
many places punches Of lime ara found;
but thus far they have been but annches,
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 TINS ore mas
all been with the ordinary stamp mili,
using copper plates for saving the gold;
The last work showed II saving of about 60
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved. eonsiderable
portion of the gold that is not free is found
in a white carbonate of lead, and another
portion is found in II 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 alloyed with the carbonate
of lead, makes the process fall short Oh be-
ing a success.
The Chairman ledge passes through the
entire length of the Chairman mine to the
west end of the location and continue on
it's westward course through the Turkey
and mines. These mines are but little
prospecteti, 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 SHIFT assayed $27 per ton, Be
tween the Sou hern Gross and the Chain
man mines lies the
THE GOLDEN REVENUE.
The property of Messrs. Simpon Campton,
Harris and others, There is u shaft and
other workings upon the mine that expose
a 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
South of the Chairman lies the
ELY MINE,
The property of General Thomas and F.
NJ. Clark. The workings consist Of a tun-
mel 10 feet long, at the end of which n shaft
is sunk in the ledge, which is about six feet
wide and assays So per ton in gold. the
ledge can he traced the entire lenpth of
the mine. South of the Ely and to the
western end lies
THE MOHAWK,
The property Of Messrs Thomas. Clark,
Weber u Heusser. There is a shaft 10 feet
deep and an open cut upon the mine IN
which ore has been developed that assays
SO per ton in gold. West Of the Chairman
group lies the

South OF the Rob Roy niue lies

The owners have done some work on the
mine aud developed somc ore.
Adjoining the Los Angeles mine on the
west is the Saxton, the property of Gov
ernor Mckinley and 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
ed idle for many years 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
Rockhill. The group is composed of four
mines, the Katy q, Emma G., Oregon and
Mount NIorPan. The working consists Of II
tunnel lie feet long and a shaft 81 feet
deep and tunnel rs foot long. At the
shaft there is II body Of very good ore as
saying 81 per ton in fire. gold. The ledge
is seven feet wide, and ONE places very
strong. The groupings SAY so 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 is shaft upon this mine
~ 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 worl, done upon them and show more
