ROCHESTER HAS
AN AERIAL TRAM
EQUIPMENT WILL TRANsfohf
ORE FROM MINES TO COM
PANY'S MILL

Within 10 days work on the new
aerial tramway for the Rochester
Mines in the Rochester
district, Humboldt county, Will be
started, according to a statement by
the management today. This tram
when completed will transport up
to 500 tons daily from the mines
to the mill at a cost approximatlnS
s cents a ton, which is a vast step
in modern mine operation efficiency.
The tram will carry the ore for a
distance of more than two miles.
New ore is still being discovere1
almost daily, and in many places in
the mine, virgin territory is showing
up with most gratifying results.
The superintendent reports his
week that an orebody has been
struck in virgin ground on the 45O
level, and a large mount of ore
carrying good valueus has been OPEN
ed up in both north and south
drifts.
The strike, a few weeks back, on
the old Four J workings, is holding
up, both in the SIZE of the vein, and
Il the values. The vein now main
tains an average width of seven
feet. and has been traced for a con-
siderable distance.
Work is started on the installa-
tion of a new Monarch furnace,
which will afford a more economical
method of turning out the bullion.
The new furnace is a big improve
ment over the one formerly USED
and will effect a saving in the cost
at this end of the institution.
Arrangements for the letting of
the contract for the aerial tramway
are being made, and the early part
o. next week. at the latest, will see
the plans completed, and everything
in readiness to proceed with this
important step.
At concluded figures the tramway
will make a saving in t~ranspOrta-
ton costs of approximately 100000
a year.
In spite of the inclement wea-
Their, work on the new addition to
Tire Rochester mill is progressing
steadily, and it will not be long be-
fore the mill will be completed.
The superintendent reports that
development work in all parts of
the mine is being prosecuted stead
ilv with grctifyilg results Ard
thu a tremer Ions quantity of ore
is opened up in readiness for taking
on. and transu orting to the rnill -
RCview-Miner.
