CAYANEY BOOSTS
FOR ROCHESTER

Rochester, during these court DAYS,
seems to have taken the county. This
is approximate truth and is so i'm
pressed when the sunny smile of
James Cavaney, the best and most ar
dent Rochester booster, is noted aad
recognized on our streets and byways,
hotels and business places, shaking
hands, greeting friends and in elo-
quent and spirited terms singing the
praises and mining advantages of
I Rochester and all that thereto apper-
tains. To him the opportunities of
Rochester are a shining display and
where those who will find the metals
that bring wealth and give that res
possibility that goes with competence
/ Cavaney is not only red headed and
! hopeful, but in all the characteristics
! that go to win success he leads and
4 is aggressive and keen in application
I Like the chosen people of the Ri-
j bic, coming from their hiding places
4 from amongst the rocks, so the chosen
opportunities of Rochester from
amongst the rocks are being revealed
and those who choose to win find and
gain the results for which they seek, =
proclaimed this booster and lookout
Continuing, he said: "We assert that
Rochester, for only a two-year-
camp, has not simply promises to
show, but has the real goods to mar
ket and with it can give the records
of ores shipped that possess the seven
figure mark. Under the circumstances
without outside capital, this is re-
markable showing. 1t matches any cf
the camps that heretofore have stood
as conspicuous examples of great Ne
vada wealth and long time production
and profit for operators.
Rochester is the proof that asserts
lpermanency The district is a sequence
lof discoveries and developments in
silver, gold and lead deposits that
stamp it as one of the very remarkable
mining districts of the West. The ge-
ology and ore deposits of the district
fully confirm the basic strength of the
district as one of the best sections in
the West
Individual properties fully confirm
this. One of the strongest showings in
the entire district, with the entry of
treasure vault promising to rival,
with maturer development, the great
gold silver discoveries of Nevada, IS
that of the Buck and Charley mine,
situate in the heart of the rich min
eral belt and one of the largest min
ing estates in the Rochester district
The ear marks of this mine are those
of permanency and greatness. This
consists in exposed bodies of ore that
will ultimately be treated at hand
some profit on the ground with applied
machinery. A small item of this strik-
ing mine example of the Rochester dis
trict is the shipping ore which the
leasers have extracted and sent to
smelters, some carload lots returning
as high as 500 per ton.
''The geology and naturalization of
this property is of the best. Briefly,
the vein filing is the result of ascend
ing solutions carrying gold and silver
contents not simply distributed along
cleavage lines, but disseminated
throughout the filing of large and
consistent fissure vein, from eight to
10 feet wide, exposing as fine and
workable a body of ore as has been
opened in the Humboldt mountains.
.'The geology of the Buck and Chan
ley lode claims is an intrusive porphy
rite, part of which is andesite and
part locally named rhyohte, and in pla-
ces has the characteristics of traehyte.
The underlying rock is a metamorphic
westerly is limestone, with quartzite
in places The porphyritie rock in par
ticular has been extensively issured
and charged with mineral compounds.
Here are found great ledges of silici-
fed country rock associated with crys-
tallized quartz and its accompanying
metal values.
"The great movements that have
taken place and transmitted these
rocks are from great depth and
through the varied intrusive move
ments Natures s chemical forces did
splendid work by depositing profitable
quantities along these break and fault
lines. Every evidence leads to the con-
clusion that the Buck and Charley ore
zone extends to depth through the diff
ferent formations with values increas-
ing as depth is attained. The fine sui
phide ore encountered is evidence for
such statement. To my observations
this property has great future. To
me it is keep your eye on the Buck
and Charley.
"Other properties IN the district
substantiate what the Buck and Char
ley shows The Rochester mine is a
superb evidences; the Packard; the
Rochester Snowstorm and the like are
only confrmatory of Rochester ;
wealth and opportunity.
With this the earnest 'Cavaney pull
ei from his pocket some gold speei-
mems coming from the famed De Lorme
Kettle property on Lincoln Hill and
known as the Lincoln Hill Milling and
Mining company.
