LOWER ROCHESTER,, New, Janu-
ary l, 1917.--In an inspiring sense.
Rochester district is pushing to the
front. The New Year presents the
best and most wholesome aspect that
the district has offered during its ex-
istence, not even counting the enthu-
siastic period of discovery when Joe
Nenzel, Frank Forvilly and their fell
low prospectors, through penury and
poverty, attracted the worlds atten-

and Packard decline Where then
were prospects, there now are mines,
pouring their wealth for use and lux

and with the most convincing evil
dence of other and newer develop
ments showing the mines which in
time will add their great impost of
wealth for the benefit of mankind.

strations, of the shipping record and
the new things just peeking into the
horizon with their halo of bigger and

end and side to side, has proven its
superior worth; and today as a lime

Few districts, in evolving from a
prospect hole into numerous produc-
