ROCHESTER Mines
PROFIT S64.69O.42

LOVELOCK, October 12-Following
is the official weekly report given out
from the general Offices in this city OF
the various Friedman mining prop
critics:
Rochester Mines Company
The management of the Rochester
Minues company has just issued a
quarterly report. dated September 30,
covering the months of July, August
and September, which is most graft
flying to the stockholders and indicates
that in the near future the Rochester
Mines company should be on a regu-
lar quarterly dividend paying basis.
The substance of the report is as
follows: Net tonnage milled during
last quarter. s15.908; gross earnings.
s15.ss3.19; total expenses, s94192.77;
net profit over expenses. $64.690.42.
The physical condition of the mine
is more promising at this time than at
any time heretofore. owing to the
large orebodies which are being
opened up on the lower levels.
The orebody on the 800-foot level
has been opened up for a distance of
over 500 feet in length, all in con-
tinuous ore. varying in width from
twelve to thirty two feet, and assaying
from sS to s35 per ton.
The continuation OF the S00-foot ore
shoot has been opened up in the 900
foot level for a distance of 200 feet
in length. varying in width from thir-
teen TO forty feet, values being of the
same proportion as the values OF the
ore on the s00-foot level
The development of the ore is also
being prosecuted on the 650-foot level.
which is assaying from twelve TO
eighteen ounces in silver and s2.40 per
ton gold.
Stopping on the 250-foot level is be-
ing prosecuted In ore fifteen feet in
width.
On the 100-foot level a crosscut is
being run towards the high-grade ore
shoots in block 4, where the leasers
in 1913 and 1914 shipped hlgh-grade
ore from within fifty feet of the sur
face. This crosscut is expected to
penetrate the ore body at any time.
A bullion shipment amounting to
$4,000 was made during the week.

Development work continues to pro-
gress with gratifying results. Large
bodies of ore are being blocked out in

tunnel
The mill Is nearing completion,
However. owing to the delay in the
shipment OF the electric equipment,
the mill will probably not be put into
operation until the latter part OF the
year.
The directors and some of the larg-
est stockholders of the company made
an inspection OF the mine and mill
during the week and were more than
pleased with the conditions of the
mine and the splendid mill. which is
being erected for the treaemtnt of the
ore.

PRESIDENT WILSON
TO MR.. H. HOOVER
The White House.

Washington, October 10, 1917.
Dear Mr.. Hoover:-The exigencies
OF the treasury have required setting
the final week of the Liberty Loan
campaign during the period of Octo-
ber 21 to %. This, understand,
brings ii into the same week as the
Food Conservation Pledge campaign.
II seems to me undesirable in the in
terest of both these capital matters
that this should occur. In all the
circumstances, therefore, I would be
glad If the Pledge campaign could
be deferred one week, that is, until
October 2S to November 4.
In asking this alteration of the
plans of yourself and your associa-
tions, | should like to take this occa-
sion to impress upon them that I in
no way underrate the importance of
their effort. II we are to supply our
allies with the necessary food and are
TO reduce our own prices of food
stuffs during the coming winter IL
can only be accomplished by the ut
most self-denial and service on the
part OF all our people through the
elimination of waste and by rigid
economy in the use of foods. There
fore, / would be glad if you would
convey to all of your staff throughout
the country my feelings of the prime
Importance of their plans and their
work. / wish particularly to express
my great appreciation of the service
which this additional tax on their
time will impose upon the many thou
sand volunteers who have alreaedy
deferred their own concerns to public
interest in this important work. II
ask them not to allow this alteration
in program to dampen their fine en-
thusiasm. but, rather. to redouble
their energies in their very great
branch of national service.

Yours,
