VISITS ROCHESTER

The gradual and assured forward
movement for the more profitable
Rochester is the work of that high in
teligence and concentration of the
miners and prospectors, recently rein
forced by such men as l.. A. Freedman,
A. A. Codd and p and w. Kittle of
San Francisco said VIM. Borneman,
who has lately visited Rochester and
is now interesting his Milwaukee peo-
pie in a property adjacent to the Roch-
ester Snowstorm group of claims and
a short distance northeast from the
richly productive Packard mine. This
well known miner and representative
of Eastern capital, after a thorough
examination of the district, unburdened
himself further:
81 was intent on learning all /
could of Rochester, and particularly
the section in which we will do some
hard development. | find the district
both as to formation and mineraliza-
tion one of the best featured in the
country. The men who pinned their
faith to Rochester evidently have not
slept since they became convinced that
Rochester had that which means last
ing gain.
81 find the Packard, on the Weaver
slope, great property, with prom
Use of one of the great mines II the
world. Further up the hill, in the
Rochester Snowstorm section, there are
equally strong conditions, with fine
veins, and every prospect indicative of
large producing mines. Development
here has been backward, but with the
advancing proof of substantial depos-
its of ore bodies nearby, there is every
reason to suggest that this divide, sep
arating American Canyon, where nil
lions of placer gold has been taken
out, and the Weaver decline. that big
and enduring mines viii be proven
here. The veins are strong persistent
and all give values which, when fol
lowed, prove the roftable mines II
is good porrion of the districs.
"Further on from the Rochester
Snowstorm are the Weaver. Minneha
ha, Red Top, 70 .hesse-. Ella Pima and
original Rochester, all propert,es with
ores of commercial Importance in sight
aggregating great values and of as
sured profit.
Moving on / find the Buck and
Charley with ores bodies exposed that
make this favorable property a pre-
mier evidence of the great wealth and
opportunity of Rochester. This prop
erty is surrounded by the Octopus, the
Flunkies, Peerless No. 6, Lincoln Hill
Consolidated, Frank Forvilly's Raven,
and Cliff De Lormes, Lincoln Hill Min
ing & Milling Co.. area, all proper
ties with ore of the workable and pro-
fitable Sort On the De Lorme property
the richest ore in Rochester is found.
1t is free gold deposit, with very lit
tie silver. Some of the ore is so rich
that is a case of the gold holding the
rock together and not the rock hold
ing the gold in bondage. Some of this
ore runs as high as 100000 to the ton.
.sAs a whole, the Rochester district
is a winner in which the rewards will
be large for workers and investors.
Even now workers and owners
throughout the district are buoyant
and cheerful, for they know that Roch-
ester's future will bring them wealth,
and that the success of the district
will reflect as great credit upon the
mining industry as have Tonopah and
the Ely districts, and firmly convince
the world that Nevada has great un-
developed mining resources.
N'I know of no better mining camps
than Rochester. This does not under
value other districts that have made
mining so profitable an industry
.With efficiency in development
reason to anticipate anything but
greater mining results in this district
of large opportunity and advantages.
