workable ore has been opened.
The company is installing a full
complement OF labor-saving maehin-
cry. consisting Of engines. compress
sors. power drills, with every device
serviceable in pushing mine develop
ment and cheapening production. II
means pushing work to the limit
There are eight drill machines on
the property at present
This is a brief outline Of the Roch-
ester Combined compass, and with
the business aims and business meth
DDS in vogue there is a future to it
with the guaranty of greater success.

Another property. a large dividend
payer and part of the Friedman oper-
ating program. is the Seven Troughs
Coalition. The property is free of
Indebtedness. 1t has produced over
81. 10000 in bullion and paid $751;
572.33 in dividends. This sum total
is deficient owing to the contraband
ore gotten away with by high-grad-
ers
The company owns 200 acres of pat
ented mineral rights; owns an up-to-
date mill and such mining appurten-
ances as go to give efficiency to
mine making and production.
Owing to a large flow OF water en-
countered at greatest depth and mad
equaey of the pumping system to
handle the water. production and de-
velopment has been at a standstill
while waiting for new machinery and
pumps with which to meet the re-
quired increased working capacity and
lifting the water. With these delays
overcome it will be only a matter of a
short time when the Coalition will be
on a rich producing basis and paying
dividends again.
A handmade to the Coalition and
adjoining it is the Seven Troughs
Mining company. This is a Friedman
control, owning 80 acres of patented
area and a production record of over
500, 900. In the main development
and production was made by leasers.
Since Friedman gained control he
has been retimbering shafts. tunnels
and drifts and such work has been
advanced to a point where mining
could be done the company has
through work opened a number of
ore shoots of high value, and indica-
tons are that the mine will be on a
paying basis shortly, yielding divi-
dends.

The Rochester Mines with its great
production, with millions of dollars
worth of mill ore in sight, and rail-
ways and tramways and tunnel sys-
TENS and milling and laboratory APP
pliances. is a matter of record and a
monumental evidence OF credit to the
mining capacity of Nevada and the
man who as a business genius brought
the property to its present point of
,fruition and success.
The man who is like a corner stone
TO these structures and superstruc-
lures is L. A. Friedman. Besides
being active in practical mine
direction and financing. Friedman is
vice-president of the American Min
ing Congress, of Washington, d. G..
He has been active in helping to re
wise mining laws to make them more
beneficial for the mining industry. He
is on the executive board of the Ne
vada Mine Operators Association,
which organization has saved Nevada
mining enterprises $4,000, 900 on
cyanide alone. The association
bought cyanide for its members at
"a cents a pound, whereas the mater
ial is selling at over 81 per pound at
present.
Besides his mining interests Fried
man is engaged in ranching and is
largely interested in a number OF
banks of the State. and before be-
coming so very active in mining was
president of the First National Bank
OF Lovelock.
The Friedman interests are diversi-
fed, just as his talents and capabili-
ties are diversified, and in strong
spirit and good fellowship he is weld
ing a cause that propels development,
brings results and proves beyond a
question of doubt that the opportuni-
ties of Nevada are realizable and
profitable when properly matured.
