STILL DEVELOPING
ROCHESTER MINES

velopments of momentous importance
to mining interests are being made
on the Nenzel Crown Point, the Roch-
ester Mines and the Rochester Com
bined properties. Developments on
other properties are of material i'm
provement and making good, but
owing to the more aggressive and
larger work on the three properties
mentioned they are headliners and
show the proof which means a mine
campaign such as Nevada has not hal
since the boom days of Tonopah and
Goldfield.
Two men of determination and
capability head these properties and
are motive responsible for the push
and enterprise expressed Herewith;
they are Joseph F. Nenzel and l.. 4.
Friedman.
The Nenzel Crown Point is being
developed under the direction of Nen-
eel. The property is proven by tun-
nels, shafts and crosscuts. 1t is a
mine Of much reduceable ore in sight.
At present the big work is a long
tunnel which will make a clean bore
through Nenzel hill and cut, at from
300 to 800 feet deep, the series of ore
bearing veins which parallel one an
other northerly and southerly IN
Nenzel hill. The long tunnel is about
$500 feet, and when through the hill
will be more than 5000 feet in length.

veins in its progress all carrying gold
and silver values of commercial i'm
portance. The largest vein cut is 100
feet wide and is of sulphide ore which
will mill at a profit. The significance :
of this 100-foot vein can be appreci-
ated when it is stated that the vein
is cut at depth of 600 feet and shows
on surface strong with approximate
gold and silver values. Thus the ore
between surface and deep-point cut
is simply great. No drifting has been
done, for the object is to telescope
the mountain eventually erect a 100
ton mill on the American Canyon side
in close proximity to water.
The Rochester Mines development
at depth of 700 feet is marvellous
for rich body of ore Here the
crosscut on vein shows twenty feet OF
ore which samples $40 ton in gold
and silver. The vein shows in cross
cut much additional ore, but is of a
lower grade and is a workable mill
ore of high-class quality. The devel-
opment throughout this property Is
proof of the biggest mine on the Men
eel hill end
The Rochester Combined needs fo
be seen in order to be appreciated
AS an evidence of the fabulous wealth
that Nevada offers to legitimate mine
development and metal production
In what is called the Shepherd tunnel
the crosscut on the vein is ahead
more than 155 feet and the present
full face of this crosscut is in good
mill ore, and the face of the south
drift returns mileral values which are
better than so ounces of silver and
betetr than 80 ounces of silver and
S2.40 in gold. This is the same vein
from which the Packard mine is max
ing its large dividend production. The
entire 155 feet wide of ore is good
grade mill ore. The drifts or

gainsaying that this demonstration is
the most astonishing ore revelation

One hundred feet below this cross
cut another tunnel is forced ahead
prosecuting this great body oi
ore. This deeper tunnel gives al
point of intersection with the Shep-
herd tunnel depth of $50 feet on the

vein some 1000 feet, like ore has been
opened by open cuts and in like man.

property the Shepherd claims ac-
quired some three months ago foI
$37,500. are estimated on account oi
limited development and ore expos
ures as worth approximately $2.000.-
900. These transitions of value sound
like magic. but they are determinable
today by measurement and sampling
and actual test, and as such are a
mighty evidence of the great wealth
and opportunity that Nevada offers to
those who dare and do. as Friedman
and Nenzel dare and do. in making
and enforcing these great mine DEM
onstrations.
