There was something very strange
about all this, and since Delano was
curious and seemed to risk nothing he
assented to the terms. He went to
bed wondering what 1t meant and
when he awoke in the morning felt
that through some snare he would be

A Race With a
Blind Man
Weekly Short Story.

Long ago before the railroad tunnel
was dug under the st. Gothard pass
and travellers must go on the noun
tain instead of beneath it, Walter
Delano. young American, who had a
fancy for mountain climbing, went to
Switzerland to indulge his taste in this
respect. He climbed Mont Blanc and
other mountains and after becoming
accustomed to the sport did a good
deal of tramping among them alone.
Being at Lucerne, he concluded to
walk over the ST. Gothard pass. Leav
ing Lucerne, he proceeded by steam
boat on the Lake Of the Four Cantons
10 Fluelan, where he began his tramp
passing through Altdorf, thence wind
ing up the road over which travellers
hen passed by diligence. BY evening
he came to an inn at which he con-
.luded to pass the night. The land
ord answered his summons at the
loor and instead of welcoming him
,ffusively, after the custom of the inn
keepers, greeted him with cold stare.
Delano asked to be lodged and was
invited in. The landlady, tidy body,
got up a good supper for him, which
lie ate alone, for there were no other
guests in the inn. The American
wondered at this, for 1t was at the
neight of the season for mountain ira
Jel The landlady explained to him
hat there was little or no foot travel
,ver the pass and that there was no
occasion for those going by diligence

How, then, do you make living
here?" asked Delano.
The woman said that they made but
4 poor living, but their appearance and
that of the hosiery belied her words
everything about the place as well as
their own appearance gave evidence
If prosperity.
After supper Delano TO pass the
time. engaged the landlord in CONVEX
satIon. and the topic naturally fell on
tramping and climbing, De.
lano told the man Of the mountains
he had climbed and the tramps he had
made, mentioning having once crossed
the Brunig pass on a woger In less
time than 1t had ever been done be-
fore. At least so said those living on
both sides of the mountain. At this
the landlord shrugged his shoulders.
and. fixing that cold eye Of his on the
stranger. an eye that seemed to look
right through and past him said:
"'rhe Brunig is no pass for man to
go over. This or the Simplon is a
place for one to show what he can do"
Il will show that tomorrow"

The rocks vary from feslitic to
coarsely prophritic. They are
more or less silicified, devitrified,

dip 60 Deg. w. and are approx

ROCHESTER MINING
DISTRICT, NEVADA
United States Geological Survey
Makes Examination of New
Gold and Silver Camp

Survey, Through Geologist +. &.
,Schrader, has just made an ex-
animation of Rochester, the new
and promising mining district in
Humboldt county, Nevada, which
for the last five or six months
has been attracting much atten-
ton.
The ores are chiefly silver bear
ing but carry also gold, which in
some of the ore amounts to so
per cent of the value. They are
apparently deposited by hydro
thermal solution.
The strike in Mcneil Hill was
made late in November, 1912,
and the shipment of a couple of
carloads of high grade ore by
Joe Mcneil, Frank Schick, and
Walt Moynaugh about Christmas
started the Rochester boom. In
less than a month the hitherto
desolate canyon had a reported
population of 5000 and con-
tanned many substantial two
story buildings. Leases on blocks
300 by 600 feet in area were
taken and were operated active
ly by experienced mining men,
with the result that to date the
development of the mines and
the showing of ore are remark
able. Six or eight leases are
opened to depth of 100 feet by
cross cut tunnels from 100 to 800
feet in length. About 1900 tons
averaging $50 to the ton has
been mined and shipped and it
is said that 1000 tons of ore
are in sight. Nearly a score of
properties are producing.
The Rochester district hes
mainly on the eastern slope Of
the Humboldt Mountains, be-
tween 1000 and 8,400 feet in
elevation, in a north-south area
about 6 miles long by 5 miles
wide, on which the Survey will
later probably publish q report
accompanied by a geologic and
topographic map.
The district is easy of access,
being 10 miles east of Nixon,
formerly Oreana, the nearest
station and ore shipping point on
the main line of the Southern
Pacific Railroad, and % miles
east of Lovelock. With both of
these places it has daily freight,
express, passenger and mail
auto services and telephone con-
nections.
The country is mountainous
but not rugged. The ravines
are open and most of them pas
sable by team and wagon.
Nenzel Hill, in which lie the
bodies from which the present
production is chiefly derived, is
situated in the eastern portion
of the district and forms part Of
the crest of the range between
the head of Rochester canyon
on the west and South America
canyon on the east. 1t is a
Observation-Disclosures ding
oval part of the ridge about
5000 feet long by 1000 feet
wide and rises to 1900 feet in
elevation, or about 500 feet
above the adjoining portions of
the divide. In Nenzel Hill the
veins, ten or more in number,
vary from 100 to 3,700 feet in
length and some apparently have
a vertical range of at least AGO
feet. The west vein or lode,
now being worked chiefly on
the Codd lease and the Plat
lease, is about 80 feet in width
