FRIEDMAN TUNNEL IN IN GOOD ORE

Not since the Belmont made the ia
nous strike at Tonopah has. the min
ing fraternity of Nevada seen any
thing to equal the mammoth deposit
of ore which the Friedman tunnel of
the Rochester Mines Company is
opening 1900 feet below the outcrop
of the ore channel on the crest Of
Rochester Hill A telegram to the
Nevada News Letter states that the
tunnel had cross-cut the ore for forty
feet without reaching the foot wall of
the vein. The values range from So
to $40 per ton, increasing toward the
foot wall. The tunnel was pointed"
to strike the main ore channel at~a
point directly below the Transports
tion tunnel, which is the 300-foot level
of the mine. The rich shoot of orc
developed to depth of 450 feet
two wines $50 feet apart, lies south
of the Transportation tunnel and
rakes to the south. This will necessi
tate drifting some little distance to
reach the high-grade ore that was de-
veloped on the upper levels of the
mine. The fact that the big vein con
tains ore of good mill grade at the
point where the lode was cut in the
deep tunnel is matter for congratu-
lation
Two veins of ore were developed in
the upper workings Of Rochester
Mines. The dips of these veins were
such that it early became evident that
they would form a junction some
where near the Friedman tunnel. This
evidently has occurred, resulting iii
the huge deposit or ore that has been
cut. The deepest workings in the
mine aside from the Friedman tunnel
are at depth of $50 feet. about 900
feet on the dip of the east vein. The

tunnel adds 700 feet of backs below
the deepest winze, on an ore body
that has been developed for a dis
tance of 500 feet with the south face
of the drift on the 800 level still in
good ore. Late reports from the mine
state that the ore body in these
wines is from l8 feet to 2l feet wide.
The values from the 800 level down
range from SIS to $45 per ton of which
about one third is gold The west
vein was the first one mined, produc-
ing more than 100000 from three
leases. The east vein has not been
mined to any extent, most of the ore
being taken out in the progress of de-
velopment work; so that it may be
said that the ore body is practically
untouched. to the surface. Besides
this large tonnage there are several
thousand tons of excellent ore in the
Four is ground on the north and in
the Weaver mine on the south, all Of
which is owned by the Rochester
Mines Company. 1t is estimated thar
the Friedman tunnel and the workings
above prove fully one million tons of
ore of an average grade of SIS per
ton. During the first fifteen days of
November the mill was in operation
eleven days the shutdown of four
days being caused by breakdown,
on the railroad which transports the
ore from the mine to the mill. The
bullion output for the eleven days
was was $21 800, or almost $1,000 A
day. In keeping with the announced
policy of the company it may be ex-
pected that plans for the addition of
other units to the reduction works
will be taken up shortly by the Ro-
chester Mines Company, which will
double the bullion output.-News

CALIFORNIA NEEDS OUR POTATOES

The following statement which is
not correct and unjustly reflects upon
the Nevada rancher, was printed in
a recent issue of Sacramento paper:
The potato crop of California is so
short this year, due, to small planting
and the ravages of pests and moth,
that the available supply of Califor-
MIA tubers already is exhausted, ac-
cording to ]. p. Murphy. The result
is that potatoes must be imported
from other States, namely, Idaho and
Colorado, and the price therefore will
increase.
In normal years good "spuds" have
sold here for $l25 the hundred
pounds. 1t is predicted by Murphy
that the price will rise to 81 per hun
