| The Chairman ledge passes through the

prospected, and nothing is known OF their

| The same can be said OF the Southern Cross
mine There is some more work done upon

| 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 Gov

assayed SIS in gold. The ore is free and of
the same character found in the above de-

| one of the best locations in the district.
| West of the Saxton is
THE AURORA GROUP,
