WEEKS WORK ON
FRIEDMAN MINES

Especial Correspondence
LOvELOCK. New, July Hollow
ing is a report of the weeks develop
ments on the Friedman properties,
issued from the general offices here:
Rochester Combined Mines Company
The working tunnel has advanced a
distance of 511 feet to date, with a
good showing of ore in the face. The
main drift in the working tunnel is
now in 100 feet. Raise No. l from the
/ DRIFT is up e. feet. Raise No. 2 from
the main tunnel is up 20 feet. The
raise from the main drift in the Shep-
/ herd No. / tunnel broke through to the
| surface. which is a distance Of APP
proximately 90 feet. with good ore all
the way. Raise No. 2 from the cross
cut is now up q feet. The winze on
/ the vein i'm the Kroner tunnel is down
| 20 feet. continuing in good ore. Link
| No. l tunnel is in 100 feet. Link No. ,
| tunnel IS in rs feet and Link No. 8
105 feet. The erosscut from Link No.
3 is now in 90 feet, with indications
of a change of formation the last few
DAYS. The Maynaugh tunnel has ad
vanced to date 465 feet and we figure
we will have to advance approximate
ly % feet more before reaching the
intersection of the quartz vein. The
Bacchus tunnel has advanced ~ feet
with apparently no change.
The mill construction is progress
ing rapidly. The stills on all four
benches of the mill grade have been
made. Tower saws. hoist, crusher,
concrete mixer and other machinery
to hasten the construction of the mill
are being installed. Transformers
for a permanent sub-station have
been installed. The power connection
was made Thursday.
Both the so and %100-gallon water
tanks are overlooking with water.
Seven TrOughs Coalition
No change of any Importance has
taken place on the new find. The past
weeks development has been in a
stope which was started from the
main drift, which is now up IA feet,
all the way in excellent ore. A winZe
will be started on the ore next week
to block out and determine the extent
of the new strike.
Seven TrOughS Mining Company
A considerable amount of high
grade or picture rock has been ex-
tracted during the past week in the
north Slope from the 700-foot level
The drift north from the Wine on
the S00-foot level is advancing toward
the continuation of the rich ore shoot
which we have on the 700-foot level.
AS vet the vein does not carry any
great values; however. we are in
hopes of making a favorable report az
this point next week.
Rochester Mines Company
The S00-foot level north is advanc-
ing in some of the best ore we have
ever encountered on the property. The
ore shoot on this level is one of the
largest ore shoots ever opened UP
in this property. The main ore shoot
north from the crosscut has now adj
vanced a distance of $50 feet. all the
way in ore, and taking into consider
alton the point at which the ore was
first encountered, the ore shoot is now
400 feet long, with no indications of a
break.
The winze from the S00-foot level
is now down to the 900-foot level,
where a crosscut is being run to con-
meet with the winze and where drifts
both to the north and south will be
started as soon as the connection is .
made. !
The crosscut from the 1100-foot
level was started during the week in
order to pick up the Adams vein on
this level.
The north drift on the 10O-foot level
is approaching the ore bodies on
Block A, known as the Hunter lease,
where the lessees developed and
opened up a large tonnage of high
grade milling ore. 1t will probably
be a week or ten days before the con
nection is made with the old work
ings of the leasers.
All other parts of the mine are look
