ROCHESTER DFvfL.
OPINC ORE BODIES

Rochester is very much on the for
ward move at present It's resources
are such as to make it great object
i've for superior mine advancement and
gold and silver production during the
coming mining era now on and in
which Goldfield is setting such pace
So patent and strong are these Roch-
ester resources, and so profitable, that
the district is attracting to its portals
the capitalist seeking safe and legiti-
mate mine and business investments.
The well known production of tie
district without outside support is on
ly criterion to what will follow. That
production rates above the more than
a million mark, with numerous more
millions in sight on the more advanced
properties, not counting such as the
McSherry development on the Mime
hahas, where he has exposed and strip
ped three to four feet of ore rating
an average of SAL per ton, with Sec
ond class milling ore of four feet re-
turning SIS per assay ton.
On the Red Top lease McSherry is
taking out ore which runs better
than 5000 ton. Other properties
like the Rochester Snowstorm, the
Paymaster and the Octopus, are also
in the limelight.
The Stowell Mining and Leasing
company ON Limerick saddle has q
splendid showing. The shallower work
ings up the hill along the ore line
made a fine presentation of ore that
will mill at great profit. In consid-
erable of the ore the free gold is visi
BILE without crushing, but the main
feature is the big body of milling ore.
The property is now being opened in
a minerlike way by the running of
400-foot crosscut tunnel, which will
cut the main ore body at depth of
300 feet The progress made so far is
advantageous, with the terminal 220
feet ahead. /. will prbably require an
other $50 feet to ;ntersect the main
ore showing, but as it is, this Stowell
bore into Limerick hin is already cast
ing its Importance ard melting inter
est in the wealth Of gold further
ahead.
Commencing some 20 feet back from
the face of the tunnel the workers
commenced to cut gold-laden stringers
and feeders making for the main
source of ore. This evidence is akin
to all feeders Of larger bodies of ore
in the porphyry rhyolites, which pre-
dominate in the Rochester district.
The Stowell showings are surely most
excellent and in prospective value are
of Rochester quality and Importance.
Another property of Importance is
that of the Lincoln Hill Mining and
Milling company, formerly the For
Willy Rochester Mines company. F. W.
Kittle, the associate manager of the
property, announces $4,000 of ore
blocked and that all development is
of an improving and strengthening or
der. This company has been operating
for the past few months a two-stamp
mill on higher grade ore and turning
out fom $4,000 to $4,000 in bullion
The Codd road is into the district
and hauling ores out and necessities
and mining implements into the dis
trict.
The larger mill is nearing completion
and when its capacity is reached there
will be an enlvening advance in the
district.
The developments have stimulated
all other enterprises as well, and there
is notable progress in both mining
and building. For instance F. w. Kit
tie is drawing plans for a 60-room ho-
tel in the lower camp, to be known as
the Rochester Hotel Tt will be COM
and finely furnished and of
class such as Rochester needs and
which in days to come may play a
part akin TO the notable International
Hotel recently burned down at Vir-
ginia City
