LOVELOCK, July 20.-The follow
ing is the official report of the Fried
man mines. issued from the genei al
Offices at Lovelock
Rochester Mines Company
The 800-foot level north is still con-
tinuing in eight feet of ore of good
mill grade. A raise near the north
breast of this drift shows the ore o.
even greater extent in width as well
as in value. A stope is being stal 1cd
from this raise showing ore ten feet
in width.
The north drift from the 900-foot
level is advancing on the Adams vein
| to connect with the winZe recently
sunk from the S00-foot level to the
elevation of the 900-foot level. This
winze was in good ore for its entire
length. The connection between the
900-foot level and the WINE has not
yet been made.
The average production for the past
five days has been POI tons per day.
The heads are increasing as develop
ment work progresses on the lower
levels.
Rochester Combined Mines Company
The usual progress was made dur
ing the week, all work being pushed
as fast as possible
A station has been cut in the Happy
Jack shafe where drift has advanced
twenty feet on the vein, the ore being
of a better character than any here
tofore encountered at this particular
point.
The drift in the working tunnel has
advanced 220 feet. The raise in this
tunnel has advanced IS feet. Raise
No. 2, 80 feet. Link No. 1 tunnel has
been advanced 148 feet. The crosscut
in the Link No. tunnel is now in a
distance of 7S feet The Link No. 2
tunnel has been advanced 126 feet.
Raise No. 2 in the Shepherd No. 2 tun-
mel is now in a distance of 80 feet.
The Bacchus tunnel is in 79 feet, tie
face being in excellent ore which no
doubt will prove to be the vein v e
expected to encounter This ore wds
struck yesterday and as yet we bave
not received assay returns.
The feature of the week was the
record-breaking construction of the
mill The raising of the building has
begun. with benches A and B being
finished today. Most of the mill tank
sills are in place. The framing of
the building will be completed within
five days. The carpenters have re-
fused to work ten-hour shifts, so we
have put on night crew in order to
hasten the raising of the building on
the remaining benches. The general
Offices and assay office, which have
been under construction, are COM
pleted.
Seven Troughs Coalition Mining Co.
Development work on this property
is most gratifying. The main drift
has now advanced As feet. The vein
in the face of the drift is five feet
wide. A stope was started at a point
approximately twenty feet from where
the ore was first encountered, which
has now been advanced 25 feet. The
vein in the face of the stope is twelve
feet wide. A winZe has also been
started from the main drift, which
is down approximately Is feet. the
vein in the bottom varying in width
from three to five feet. From these
working places we are extracting and
milling between thirty and forty tons
of ore at the present time; however,
as work progresses more ore will be
available.
Seven Tr0ughs Mining Company
Fifteen pounds of high-grade or
picture rock was brought in yester-
day which is valued at S400. The
value as well as the quantity is in
creasing when these high-grade
streaks are encountered, and we feel
confident that the rich ore shoot will
be encountered on the S00-foot level
with little more development work
A shipment of $40 pounds if high
grade was made during the week and
we have just been advised by the
smelling company that. owing to the
rush of work, they will be unah,e to
treat our ore for ten or fifteen ays.
