Following is a report Of the weeks
developments on the Friedman prop
critics:
Rochester Mines Company.
The north drift on the 800-fOOt level
on the Adams vein has now been ad-
vanced a total distance Of 175 feet
all the way in good ore. The vein at
the present time is a little better than
s feet wide. Stopping along this en-
tire distance has been started from
this level.
The winze which was started from
the S0O-foot level some time ago has
been continued again which is down a
depth Of 80 feet all the way in a good
grade Of ore. This ore is increasing
in value as depth is attained.
From indications, the drift on the
9O0-foot level did not encounter the
continuation Of the rich ore shoot
which We have on the S00-foot level.
A station hav been cut on the 100
foot level where we will start cross
cutting on the Adams vein as soon as
the Wine which is being driven be-
tween the 500 and 900-foot levels has
been connected up.
All other working places are pro-
ducing the usual amount of ore.
Rochester Combined Mines Company,
Drift No. 2 in the Working tunnel
has advanced 80 feet to the south dur
ing the week. Drift No. 3 has adj
vanced II feet to the north. Both OF
these drifts are in excellent ore.
Raise No. / from the main drift has
advanced As feet on the hanging wall
The main drift in the Working tun-
mel has passed the 500 foot mark. Th'
last assay on the face of this drift
gave returns of 80 ounces silver AM
s2.52 gold per ton.
Link No. 3 crosscut has advanced Il
date 40 feet.
The Maynaugh tunnel is being ad
vanced at the rate of 7 feet per day
however, there is nothing new to re
port at this writing.
The Happy Jack shaft is being sun.
at the rate of 5 feet per day in ex
cellent ore.
A new Wine was started yesterda
on the 12-foot vein in the Kroner tun
mel. The ore extracted from thi
property by Kroner. which is on tn
dumps now. averages eight dollar
per ton.
The framing of mill timber for tn
new mill is under way. We now hay
100000 feet of lumber on the groun
and at the Southern Pacific station.
The 10000 gallon water tank, whic
is being installed above the mill, wi
be completed by the end of the week.
Seven Troughs Mining Company.
During the past week over 10
pounds of high grade ore was ez
tracted in the stope on the 7O0-foc
level. The main drift from the VIM
on the 800-foot level has advanced
distance of over 100 feet, at whic
point we encountered a flow of waite
a few days ago, which would indicat
that we are in close proximity to tn
vein. We experienced the same condI
tions on other levels just before en-
countering the ore.
Seven Troughs Coalition.
One of the most important strike
which has ever been made on thi
property was made Thursday moor
when we ran into two feet of hig
grade ore assaying 1892 per ton. A
this writing we are unable to stat
the extent of the ore body as il
sufficient work has been accomplishe
to determine its size and value, br
from indications of the surroundin
territory, we believe it will open u
to be the largest and richest ore shoe
thus far ever encountered in thi
property. The rich ore shoot was en-
countered in the main drift south O
the 1600-foot level at a distance {
