MINING ERA IS ROCHESTER'S
OUTLOOK At PRESENT

A. A. Coud returned from Ro-
chester last night to spend the
week end at home and he reported
that the railroad from Rochester to
Oreana will be completed the COM
ing week. Twenty-Five men are
working on the track linking the
camp with the main railroad. The
locomotive that will pull the ore
cars is due to arrive at camp at
the end of the next week.
The progress of the railroad is
but one element in the advance of
the camp and especially the Ro-
chester Hills property. At present
50 tons a day are being shipped
from the raises off the tunnel and
the double compartment shaft sink
ing below the tunnel level has
reached depth of 70 feet.
Plans are now on foot to install
double drum electric hoist which
will take care of a capacity of from
400 to 500 tons daily.
The ore taken out above the tun-
mel now averages $50 a ton. Be
low the tunnel in the shaft it is
better than $50 and the ore at the
bottom of the shaft is now of very
good grade. The shaft is 6 by 18
feet with a manway and the only
ore taken out is that broken in
sinking averaging about Is tons a
day. 1t is intended to sink to the
100 level, cut a goUd size station
and raise, mine that block and
then sink to the next level. The
work promises to have at least
5000 tons broken down in the big
stope by August /. These are 1877
feet Of backs to work on.
At present about 30 per cent of
the ore mined goes on the mill
dump. 1t runs from $12 to $18.
BY little shifting of the precent-
age it can be ,"sweetened" easily,
but the management is figuring on
the probability that before long a
capable mill will be in operation
on the ground.
Mr. Codd said he had heard the
rumors as to thej activities of the
Belmont people but as not prepar-
ed to say how accurate they were.
He believes any activities would re-
suit in the erection Of a good-sized
mill.
"A big mill would not lack for
ore"said Codd. 81 would not hesi-
tate now to guarantee that by the
time big mill could be built the
Rochester Hills would be able to
supply 200 tons daily for it. 1t is
no such small proposition though
particularly from the standpoint of
power and water. A large volume
Of water must be piped and the
piping must go deep to avoid frost
in winter. The power plant would
need to be a big one with possible
auxiliaries up the mountain.

to the status of real mining camp.
