ERA OF PROSPER
ITY FOR ROCHESTER
Rochester, July 9th, 1915.

Rochester, July 9TH, 1919.
Rochester is fast enriching the treas
ure Of Nevada. 1t is enlarging the
scope and legitimacy of mining, paw
ing the way for a prosperous era in
Northern Nevada greater than has
been this section S fortune up to the
present.
Mining in this silver gold camp has
attained an enviable place in the com
merce of the world, proving this IN
dustry to be successful enterprise FOR
gain and profit beyond any other
known business.
From the earliest days of the camp
it has been self Supporting and remu-
nerative. This fact has attracted at
tention to Rochester opportunities
which in turn has stimulated prices or
holdings in proportion to the real merit
OF stocks and properties Prudent in
vestors seeking mines are putting their
money into properties of the district
and new developments that are the
foundation upon which are being
erected those profitable enterprises 70
attractive TO capital.
The Rochester mine is steadily pro-
ducing more than $500 in bullion
daily, and present development indi-
Gates that the new mill, now handling
l20 tons Of ore daily must be enlarged
to meet requirements.
The Buck and Charley is steadily
producing ore, under work of leasers.
Lately the oxidized ores taken from
this property have been shipped to the
local mill, with satisfactory results.
The Lincoln Hill Mining & Milling
company is extracting high grade of
the pietnre-rock variety Last week IS
run of the eompany's two-stamp mill
produced a bar of bullion which net
ted 80 $50.
The Packard is blocking ore, pre-
paratory for the 100-ton mill now in
course of construction.
Other properties are showing their
mining qualities. Among these are IRE
Rochester Snowstorms, Packard Ex-
tension, Lincoln Hill Consolidated, The
Raven and the Forvilly properties.

BURNING CLOTHING RESULTS IN DEATH

Mystery Surrounds Death of Unknown Man on Black
 Canyon Road
FELL FROM A WAGON
Why He Burned or Why He Was Left Hurt On
 Road Not Known

Mystery of the deepest hue seemed to surround the death by burning of Ian unknown man. thirty miles north on the Elacl, Canyon road yesterday. mystery that will almost certainly uc cleared up today when those who found the man earlier in the day. where he had fallen from 9 hay wagon eu route to the Triholet mine and had been hurt. can he located. A it was hate last night o9 the return of Sheriff Adams and Tudertaker Whit uey with the body, not a single fact. except a few self-cyideut ones. was known to the authorities.
 The accident was first reported hv man named Cayuess. who IS asked to come into the shcrifTs office and explain today. CaNursS. who E thought to be cattleman. drove down about noon yesterday and found the man lying hy the road, a few hundred feet from a water hole It appeared he had been on a load of hay. being Cartcd by one of CaldwelIS teamSterS to the Triholet mine. He had fallen off. and had either broken Lis back or shoulder. At any rate. he was help less. and was left by the road. appar- ently until the freight outfit could get gp tEe road a piece. tc send back at buggy to take the man Co Phoenix.
 Al three o'clock. Dan Francis passed ,he spot iu his machine. and found the man had been burned Co death. He phoued from the store nu the Arizona canal and Adams and Whitney went to the scene.
 The sheriff reconstructed the tragedy as best he could. Signs showed where the sufferer had reclined. propped against some rocks Nearby were his pipe and a can of tobacco. Six feet away was a Bible. held open bv small stone. Twenty feet away lay the body every bit of clothing having been burned away except H white linen collar, one shoe and the other sock. The unlaced shoe was found near where the man had been lying.
 Apparently. he had set fire to his clothing while smoking and had crawled desperately and without any heed tu direction, until he had sue Bits of partly burned cloth ing marked his trail
 His face was not touched. He ap- pears to be about g. years of age n fairly well looking man, dark of com pleNiou. and with a small. we'll clipped black mustache. A small leather bag like purse, contained some tobacco coupons but no money papers letters or any other means of identification could be found.
 There is quite possibly some perfect iy reasonable explanation of the trag- edy according to Sheriff Adams. but last night it looked like the most iu- human case of abandoning a crippled man. lt was not apparent why the teamster had gone ou in the first place, nor why Cavucss had come into the valley without the injured man. after having talked tu him. IL is known that CavuesS learned the whole story. together with the mans name. It was thought possibly the man had not thought himself ao seriously hurt. and insisted on waitiuc for promised aid

ENDORSEMENT OF
NEW HIGH SCHOOL

Yesterdays Wells Herald has the
following Endorsement of the grand
jury's recommendation for a new high
school building in Elko:
1t is pleasing to note that the grand
jury during IFS deliberations last week
examined into high school conditions
and made some excellent recommen-
dations. II was found that the pres
ent structure at Elko is totally made
quate to properly accommodate the
students who are attending that insti.
tuition of learning, and the jury recon-.
mended on Il plot of ground that can
be used for experimental purposes.
No grand jury in this county ever
made a better recommendation. For
some time the Elko high school
building has been overcrowded, and
under such conditions the best re-
suits cannot be attained. No county
can have better assets that schools
OF high standard, and no better in
vestment can be made by the people
of this county than TO support the
movement and lend their assistance
Tor the erection of suitable buildings
AT ElkO. There can be no question
bur what the structure is needed and
it should be built without a dissenting
vote.
