FRIEDMAN IN CON-
troll AT ROCHESTER
Especial to The Silver state)

Nopecidl 10 Inc silver State)
LOVELOCK, January 27.-L. A.
Friedman has acquired by purchase
nearly the entire vein district of the
rich Rochester district. Humboldt
county, Nevada. according to an off,
cial announcement today. and has or
ganized a 3,000,00O-share corporation
to handle the entire estate, which is
one of the largest mining enterprises
in northern and eastern Nevada.
Included in the sale, which in tota,
amounted to nearly $350,000, are sew
enty-one claims. owned by ffty-four
individuals. The estate nearly 10000
feet long, comprises all the area be-
tween the Rochester Mines Company
and the Nevada-Packard mines, in
which the vein system of the Roches-
ter district has been proved for the
entire length.
A 600-ton mill is to be put up to
handle the ores from the property,
and development work is now being
prosecuted with yigor
The ground is by no means virgin
territory and at different times three
corporations of $1,000,000 each have
done development work. In eight
separate places large quantities of
good ore have been opened up.
Il. A. Friedman. who heads the pro-
ject, is a member of the executive
committee of the Nevada Mine Opera
tors Association and is vice-president
of the American Mining Congress. He
is we'll known as successful mine
operator and financier. and for the
past two years has been in control OF
the Rochester Mines Company, which
he brought up from a bankrupt insti-
tuition.
He has had the present plan in
mind for more than two years and
has had options oil some of the claims
involved since that time.
Much of the development work in
the district since he began on the
plan has been done by men furnished
with capital by Friendman.
BY summer the development cam
paign now started will be well under
way and sufficient ore blocked out to
warrant the construction of the first
unit of the big mill.
]. w. Wilkey, former superintendent
of the Packard mines, has been ap-
pointed superintendent of the new
corporation. while J. Carlton Bray
has been retained as consulting &C.
ologist. Both men are familiar with
the history and development of the
camp of Rochester.

PROSPECTING A
DISTINCT CALLING

Is prospecting a business, a pro-
fession, an art, or recreation? Per-
haps it partakes a little of all of
these characteristics, but it has an
individuality of its own which gives
it not inartistic distinctiveness, says
the Leadville Herald Democrat. Min
ing is a matter-of-fact business that
lends itself neither to romance nor
sentimentality, in spite of the de-
lightful stories told by the moving
pictures. and the marvellous flights
of fancy of those who draw pictures
of mining camps from their Eastern
viewpoint The gentlemen of imag-
NATIVE turn of mind who sometimes
with prospectuses may seek to cover
the mining business with a glamor
of golden profits that are too often
more fanciful than real. But we all
know that mining itself is a hard
pursuit. in which imagination has
little play and which is constantly
down to the hard pan of dollars and
cents.
Prospecting is an instinct, not a
business. The man who comes to the
hill does so in response to a call
the call to adventure, to the life that
is near Naure, and to the rainbow
dream of the future. The old breed
that left the cities and the farms for
the trackless West is now all gone,
and prospecting since the days of the
railroad is largely an incidental mat
ter in the life of the practical mining
man. Why should one go into the
mountains with burro when one can
reach the most promising sections in
a Pullman car, or carry frying pan
and side of bacon in the tonneau of a
super-six?
After all, this search for indica-
tions of ore, for traces of veins, for
mineral possibilities of any descrip-
ton, must be based on knowledge of
geology or mineralogy. The old pros
pector followed a few well-known
rules. He knew his blossom rock"
and his outcrop. He spent much of
his time in panning the gulches for
placer indications, and he was more
frequently in the early-day resorts
where men do congregate to interest
the tenderfoot in his claim or to Sc
cure the much-coveted grub-stake to
develop his ground or to engage in
further prospecting.
One would like to see more young
men take to the business of pros
pecting, and give it the necessary
standing and responsibility as a dis
tinct and definite line of endeavor.
Why should there not be a profession
known as prospect engineering" de-
voted to the work of discovering and
locating mineral ground? The Colo
RADIO School of Mines has already
realized the importance of this work
by Offering a course of instruction IN
prospecting, designed to equip the
student with the elementary but spe-
cialized knowledge necessary to know
some of the secrets of the hills. We
find men who devote themselves tc
the work of developing and operating
mines; others who plan and manage
all kinds of ore-dressing plants. These
men take the proposition after the
ore is discovered. Why not lift pros
pecting out of the clouds of myth ane
mere picturesqueness, and dignity Il
as a distinct profession?
