ROCHESTER Mines
STEADILY IMPROVE

ROCHESTER,, June 9.-There is
great interest taken in the develop
ments that are being made on the
east side of Nenzel Hill, owing to the
very extensive development of big
bodies of ore by the NenZel Crown
Point company there is feeling of
intense anticipation such as can only
thrill the experienced mining man.
The Nenzel Crown Point has re-
Gently made such progress and proof
as to place that property in the fore
most position in the Rochester dis
trict. At different points on the group
of five claims the company is reveal
| ing large distinctive bodies of ore
which belong to the class that makes
| big mines and yields large profits to
| fortunate owners.
The Nenzel Crown Point has Sc
ries of parallel veins independent OF
the Rochester Mines veins, and from
which such a great production of sill
yer and gold is made by the Friedman
company, and which producing veins
enter the Nenzel Crown Point area
| from the north end line of the Roch-
slope of Nenzel Hill.
A shaft on the Nenzel Crown Point
sunk on the middle vein has rich ore
at surface, at the 107-foot station and
at the 207-foot station. The vein is
strong, consistent and the values,
mainly silver, are uniformly higher
than any consistent ore carrying vein
on the hill The ore at the 207-foot
point is better. richer and stronger
than at any exposed point above it.
| The most significant development
| from this shaft is in the north cross
cut driven from the 107 station to cut
the Rochester Mines veins and the
Zero vein. Before either of these
veins is encountered the crosscut has
cut a vein parallelling the middle or
Stevens veins, so feet north, and
thereby exposing a strong vein filled
with good ore of grade to be mined
with profit. This evidence of ore in
this vein proves that the five parallel
veins shown at surface all go to
depth, with their gold and silver bear
| ing contents. When this north cross
cut reaches the Rochester Mines it
will give an approximate depth on
same of 600 feet The drift tunnel on
the vein 200 feet lower down the hill
and paraiiefling the middle vein ex-
poses a consistent line of ore aver
aging SIS ton. This vein has bold
outcrop of IA feet wide and courses
through the property into the Elda
Fino claim. The tunnel driven on this
vein exposes IA feet of class of ore
mentioned.
Other workings on this property
make great showings of mill ore. The
Nenzel Crown Point with the Roches-
ter Elda Fino is being financed so as
to carry out complete system of de-
velopment work, block ore and erect
milling plant on the American
canyon side to reduce the ores. This
feature will give the Nenzel proper
ties the cheapest and easiest system
of ore production and reduction in
the district. With this installation
and the long tunnel driven all ore
will be handled automatically.
The Rochester Elda Fino company
is sinking a shaft on the Roy Ridge
vein and has ore of an average value
of $50 per ton. Daily these properties
are opening more ore and pointing
the way for, the biggest mine in the
district.
The Rochester Mines, Merger, Pack
ard and Lincoln Hill mines all are
producing. The Rochester Mines has
an immense tonnage of good grade
mill ore blocked. The development
north towards the Nenzel holdings is
such with the proven ore bodies
southerly as to cause the company to
erect a new mill of large tonnage ca
pacity or increase present size or
plant so as to handle 400 tons of ore
levery "a hours.
The Rochester district is proof and
great opportunity. 1t has that which
suggests to the knowing ones a fu-
lture and greatness equal to any Ne
vada gnld-silYer producing record.
