ROCHESTER MINES
PLEASE INVESTORS

LOvELOCK, Sept. 30.--In the words
OF the moving picture director, sur
prise and satisfaction are registered by
visitors to Rochester these days, sew
eral of whom during the past week hap
pened to be heavy stockholders in the
Rochester Mines company. Incidental
ly there will be more information dis
seminated in Chicago and New York
concerning Rochester camp during the
next week than has ever been turned
loose there before.
Gilman w. Smith, of Chicago,
heavy stakeholder in Rochester Mines
and Seven Troughs Coalition, accom-
panied by Edwin McNeal, of McNeal
and company, prominent brokers of the
Windy City, arrived in Lovelock Tues
day, and visited Rochester with Pres
ident L. A. Friedman, general manager
of the Rochester Mines. Their evident
astonishment at the excellent condition
of the property was evidenced in in
terviews given out after the visit.
This is nv first visit to Rochester,
and although ! had confidence that
Rochester Mines was big thing,
was in no way prepared for the show
ing that ! found on Rochester Hill.
the business-like showing at the mouth
of the Friedman tunnel, where the com
pany is massing its reserves, so to
sneak. for its attack upon the deeps of
the hill. The new compressor already
in service and the auxiliary that is Just
being installed win give ample air for
all operations in the future for a long
time to come. All the equipment is the
10 Ha4 I. L. -
the management has been going ahead
on the theory that they have plenty of
ore and it is simply as question of most
economical handling. Then the Fried
man tunnel hits the ore, as is most
surely will at the 1900 level, it will tax
even present facilities, as well provid-
&c as they are.
After my trip through the drifts
end Slopes further up the hill, / began
to comprehend the meaning of all the
elaborate preparations at the mouth of
the Friedman tunnel. | saw great guam
titles of ore blocked out from Block
10 Block i'm the Crown Point claim,
and | saw that in the deepest winze in
what was known as the Big Four block
that the vein was getting bigger and
stronger and richer than ever. Although
not geologist, ] could readily under
stand the big possibilities when the
deep level tunnel hits the ore down in
the heart of the mountain
Mr.. McNea was equally impressed
with what he had seen, and speaking
from stock brokers' standpoint, en-
Enthusiastically declared that Rochester
Mines should go to a dollar before the
first of the year.
''T have already advised nv clients
in the east to that effect, said he,
land | am going TO back it up with
my money.
'' Not only is the ore showing Won
derful and the possibilities of the
Friedman tunnel immense, but | was
extremely pleased to find that the man
agement is most efficient and going
ahead with grim determination to open
up a big mine. That is what appeals
to us brokers, for then we are safe IN
advising our patrons to take chance.
President Friedman IS reputation
for efficient business management is
pl city well established in Nevada, fol
Il wing his success with the Seven
TrOughs Coalition. His personality has
long been felt in the speeding up of
Rochester development. General Su-
perintendent Pools and Consulting En-
gineer Huntington are working IN
strict harmony with Mr.. Friedman and
they have built up an organization that
has not only won world s record in
tunnel driving but have tuned up the
Till to p per cent over its estimated
capacity, and are turning out $50 tons
of ore day. or an increase of nearly
so tons over three months ago. | have
every confidence that Rochester Mines
will become one Of the biggest proper
ties in the country
Yesterday the visitors inspected the
camp of Seven Troughs and are con
templating proceeding on to San Fran
| cisco the latter part of the week.
