GOOD REPORT OF
ROCHESTER MINE
DESTINED TO MAKE BIG
OUTPUT

Rochester has become a big
camp during the past year and in
my belief is going to make one of
the greatest mining districts in the
west" declared G.. S. Johnson, who
returned from a three days visit
there.
1.-THE Rochester Mines company
has opened some wonderful ore
bodies in the northern end of its
Crown Point No. I claim, working
through the Causten tunnel. The
upper workings are being connected
with the Codd Wine. which was
sunk from the Transportation tun-
mel.
"Our own companly, Rochester
United has opened a fine shoot of
ore in it's lease from the Merger On
the south end of the Suntlower
ground. Near the top of Sunflover
hill we have uncovered an ore-shoot
for 60 or 20 feet which is one to
two feet wide and contains values
ranging from s25 to $500 a ton.
nearly all gold. The vein dips to
the west at about 40 degrees and
Superintendent Higgins is sinking a
prospect hole to determine the To-
cality for a prospect shaft.
"That part of the Rochester dis
trict lying between the Rochester
United and the Nevada Packard is
mighty promising ground and worthy
of development. With the example
of T%onopah, which has extended it's
developed area for two miles both
east and west of the old mines,
there is every reason to expect that
this country, between Nevada Pack
the north. will be found to contain
large bodies of ore.
'The big companies On Nenzel
hill are working in perfect harmony
and helping each other to the ex-
tent of permits to work through
each others workings. Rochester
Merger is thus enabled to develop
its Crown Point Extension claim at
a depth of $50 feet through the Big
Four south drift. Nenzel Crown
Point, whose ground lies on the east
side of the hill, is able to cross-cut
the hill at a depth of several hun
dred feet through the Pitt tunnel
of Rochester Merger: and the work
we have undertaken on the part of
the Rochester United will develop
the south end of Rochester Merger
ground.
az did not find time to visit the
Packard, but was informed that the
mine is in splendid condition and
hat the company is producing about
v-S6j per day. AS YOU know, mine
and mill costs at the Packard are
very low, so that net earnings on
this output should be large. Ne
vada Packard, although not discov-
cred until the camp was nearly two
years old, seems destined to be the
first dividend payer, as l understand
it to the the intention of the com
pany to post a dividend this month.
1T seems probable that two more
mills will be built in Rochester early
next year and by the middle of
1917 the bullion output of the
camp should be large. Nenzel hill
certainly contains some wonderful
bodies of ore and the adjoining
parts of the district are very prom
isiting."-Reno Gazette.

Reno Farmers to Plant Beets

An effort to induce farmers in

beets to supply the plant of the
utah-Nevada Sugar company at Fal-
lon is being made by representatives
Of the company and considerable in

of farmers and others interested
will be held in the Commercial

NEW COPPER
STRIKE MADE

Messrs. Mcleod and Wyckof,
operating a copper property at Oak
Spring, recently uncovered a new
copper ledge of ~chrysocolla which
promises to be equal to Ior even
better than the original chrysocolla
ledge now being worked.
The new strike is about 500 feet
to the east of the former strike.
The ore is exceptionally high grade
and is expected to average better
than 80 per cent copper.
1t is reported that the tungsten
lodges are looking good. Scheelite
ore containing 60 per cent tungsten
is now being mined in the district.
ly purchased a Jeffrey four wheel
drive truck for the purpose of
hauling out ore to the l.. V. & I.
r. r., a distance Of As miles. II
is proposed to use a trailer in CON
with the truck and haul
five to eight tons of ore lat each
tip. They have obtained a 80
horsepower Fairbanks-MOrse gaso-
line hoist for the purpose of sink
ing a shaft through the gossan TO
the sulphide zone, where it is ex-
pected to strike large bodies of sui
phide ore. Oak Spring is situated
in Nye county, about 1875 miles
of Tonopah.-BonanZa.
